I’m running in quicksand
Something’s haunting me
The guilty past I’ve buried
My mind won’t let me sleep
I’ll do anything for peace — I keep waking up
A solemn oath I make
Cross my heart please let me sleep — I keep waking up
How much more do I take
My head is talking to me
I don’t know what it needs
But the loudest voice
Is the one I heed
Insomnia, my swollen bloodshot eyes
Insomnia, awake till morning light
Insomnia, stirring deep inside
Insomnia, somebody turn out the lights
I can’t sleep — insomnia
I’m twisting and turning — I keep waking up
The madness I must tame
My candle is burning — I keep waking up
Both ends again today
The whole house is creaking
I know they’re out there
The things kept from sight
I beg to the shadows
I can’t sleep
Insomnia, footsteps on the walk
Insomnia, I hear someone knock
Insomnia, I wish it was a dream
Insomnia, can you hear me scream
