karaoke
I will not grow tired
of crayon stars and fire
the sunlight has punctured
tiny holes of life
I closed my eyes
I held my breath
I prayed for light
and gasped for oxygen
it wasn't there
I couldn't see
to scare the shadow out of me
When you've done something wrong
And karma has come
To settle the score with you.
The snake in you is crawling
Pinned to the ground,
Eyes open wide and blue.
Insomnia
Closer, but no closer.
Insomnia
Closer, but no closer.
The night you were laid
When you had it made
When everything fell into place.
Higher and higher
Too fast to miss a beat,
Body and bones as well.
Insomnia
Burning like a hell.
Insomnia
Oh, burning, yes, burning like a hell. Where does it come from?
Where does it go?
Flowing over your skin,
Walking and talking,
Dancing 'till dawn,
When you just can't give in to
Insomnia
Waiting to get you.
Insomnia
Waiting to get you.
Waiting to, waiting to get you, inso...
Waiting to, waiting to get you, inso...
Don't let it, don't let it, inso...
Don't let it, don't let it,
Don't let it get you.

I need some Valium, Zanex, Percaset, Darvaset, Vicodin, Calaudapin, sleeping pills and Niquil. I can't sleep yo and it's driving me mad it's like my eyelids are glued to the top of my forehead. I lie in bed with my eyes wide open but Duddy don't you worry you'll be sleeping in a moment, then moments turn minutes and minutes turn to hours then hours turn to long ass nights and cold showers. It's four in the morning still wide awake let's see how many bong tokes Duddy B can take. I already drank all the alcohol left in my house now I sit here wide awake with a dry fucking mouth and I just think of all the things on my mind and then I let um roll around about a million times until it's got me you it grabs a hold of me baby, it's insomnia kids you know its driven me crazy.
Turn out the lights lie my head down, I lie my head down I close my eyes. Now all I do girl is lie here I think I'll die here insomnia. Push my face in the pillow to asphyxiate the sound, I'd cry my self to sleep but I'm too scared that I might drowned. I'm calling for the sandman but I don't think he's in town, and all these sleepless nights have running thoughts have got me down. I think I got a sudden case of narcolepsy maybe call up Duddy B so we can smoke the best weed and give me something nice so it can calm my chest peace and talk about these things that we really don't need. Now as I lay in bed in my head I'm running circles stuck in the land of low light and infomercials. Its insomnia kids you know its drivin' me crazy only thing that can save me is an overdose maybe. Turn out the lights lie my head down, I lie my head down and close my eyes.
Now all I do girl is lie here I think I'll die here insomnia.Fallen fallen, trying to fall asleep. Fallen fallen but my eyes are just too weak.
Fallen fallen, trying to fall asleep. Fallen fallen but my eyes are just too weak.Turn out the lights lie my head down, I lie my head down and close my eyes.
Well, it's five in the morning
And I'm pacing down Harrow Road
(Harrow Road, Harrow Road)
And melatonin don't help no matter the dose
(the dose, the dose)
And insomnia it won't let me go
Insomnia won't let me go
(Won't let me go!)
Why do I have to write about you? I don't know!
And why did I come to London? I don't know!
(I don't know! I don't know!)
Seven in the morning
And I'm pacing down Rainham Road
(Rainham Road, Rainham Road)
Yeah, everyone sleeping while I'm creeping, I'm in a deep hole
The pharmacy low, studio is closed
And insomnia won't let me go
(Won't let me go!)
Why do I have to write about you? I don't know!
And why did I come to London? I don't know!
Yeah, why do I have to write about you? I don't know!
I'm unprepared and I'm getting nowhere and everybody knows
That insomnia it won't let me go Insomnia won't let me go
(Won't let me go) go home!
(Won't let me go) go home!
Some say I'm ill
Sick as a parrot, bone-chilled
How does my face look today?
Don a smart cane in a dandy way
My head is full
I cannot think
Slip downstairs for a secret lemonade drink
Lemonade drink
Sleep cures everything
Sleep cures, if it's deep enough
Sleep cures everything but insomnia
Insomnia
Money - a modern factor
A quick rub down or a chiropractor
I kid you, you kid me
Take a close look at the family tree
Sex dreams, nightmares
Wake me up to the fact that nobody cares
Nobody cares
Chorus
I go out like a light
Clutch the heart of the night
I go out like a light
Clutch the heart of the night
Yoga turns, watering plants
Even a flapping limb dance
Anything but the job in hand
Gotta lift my head clean out of the sand
I only smoke weed when I need to,
And I need to get some rest,
I confess, I burnt a hole in the mattress,
Yes, yes, it was me, I plead guilty,
And on the count of three I pull back the duvet,
Make my way to the refrigerator,
One dry potato inside, no lie
Not even bread, jam,
When the light above my head went bam!
I can't sleep, something's all over me,
Greasy, insomnia please release me,
And let me dream about making mad love on the heath,
Tearing off tights with my teeth.
But there's no relief,
I'm wide awake in my kitchen,
It's dark and I'm lonely,
Oh, if I could only get some sleep,
Creaky noises make my skin creep,
I need to get some sleep,
I can't get no sleep....
Close my eyes but I can't shake my head.
Still not over those words you said,
tossin' and turnin' rolling in the night.
She's tying knots, seems that nothing is right.
Sweat on my brow, my adrenaline's flowing,
eyes burning red, my anxiety's growing.
As soon as I'm asleep, it will be tomorrow,
and that just fills my head full of sorrow.
Insomnia's got the best of me,
I've got no choice but to stare at the ceiling.
Insomnia has a hold on me,
you don't even know the stress I'm feeling.
Clock on the wall's moving faster and faster,
your voice in my mind like a broken record.
Tossing and turning, rolling in the night.
She's tying knots, seems that nothing is right.
Feeling my heart, pounding like a drum,
reminding me again that my day was too long.
Drank all my wine that my cuboard is bare,
still no escape from this waking nightmare.
Ticking clock won't stop
Tick tock tick tock
Pissing me off
I need a night job.
I lie in bed
Thoughts in my head
Another test
No rest no rest.
Cause I can't sleep
No rest in peace
Cause I can't sleep
No rest in peace.
I watch T.V.
Old movies, Tom Green
It's an ugly scene
Just being me.
Drugs don't help
And my brain just melts
From there I fell
I hate myself.
Cause I can't sleep
No rest in peace
Cause I can't sleep
Pick, pick, pick, it- makin me sick
I wish the sleep fairy would come do the trick
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Chew, chew, chew on my lip
IŽ gettin an ache in my left hip
Uh huh, uh uhu
Stare, stare, stare at the clock
Hearin it tick tock, tick tock, tick tock!
Sit up and lay down
Take a walk and slow down
I wanna go down, I wanna go to...
Toss and turn, toss and turn
I›e still got 8 more hours to burn, oh no!
Flip and flop and toss some more
TV off and TV on
I just want to go to sleep!
Sit up and lay down
Take a walk and slow down
I wanna go down, I wanna go to...sleep!
One, two, I can˜ sleep
Three, four, IŽ countin sheep
Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten and IŽ still awake!
Insomnia, insomnia, insomnia!
Insomnia, insomnia, insomnia!
I wanna go to
I really need to
Please God let me!
Fiddle, fiddle, fiddle under the sheets
Thinkin of you while the bed creaks, oh yeah!
Dribble, dribble, dribble on my pillow
Why do the hours have to pass so slow!?!
I just want to go to sleep!
Sit up and lay down
Take a walk and slow down
I wanna go down, I wanna go to...sleep!
One, two, I can˜ sleep
Three, four, IŽ countin sheep
Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten and IŽ still awake!
Insomnia, insomnia, insomnia!
Insomnia, insomnia, insomnia!
Insomnia, insomnia, insomnia!
Insomnia, insomnia, insomnia!
I wanna go to
I really need to
Please God let me!
Sleep Sleep Sleep
I can't sleep most of the time
Try to cancel you from my mind
Never liked you that much anyway
Got to try sleep through to saturday
Can't seem to keep my eyes shut
Can't stop to think about what what what
You said, you said to me when
I lost, I lost you again
Can't take the picture away
Gotta get me outta this day
I gotta feel the rush on my face
Im lonely, gotta look for a party
and dance with somebody tonight
Coz I'm lonely, feeling empty inside
Can't you make me feel alive
I-N-S-O-M-N-I-A Can't sleep
I-N-S-O-M-N-I-A Can't sleep
Don't look at me like that
What? You think I'm some kinda maniac
Who was asking for your opinion anyway
It's my life and you don't have a say
Gotta get, get outta this place
Can't stand to look at your face
I'm gonna get lost in the underground
I'll kill you if you follow me around
Can't take the picture away
Gotta get me outta this day
I gotta feel the rush on my face
I'm lonely, gotta look for a party
and dance with somebody tonight
Coz I'm lonely, feeling empty inside
Can't you make me feel alive
I-N-S-O-M-N-I-A Can't sleep
I-N-S-O-M-N-I-A Can't sleep
Can't sleep
Can't sleep
Can't sleep
I-N-S-O-M-N-I-A Can't sleep
[instrmental]
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
Tomorrow will be another part of yesterday
And yesterday will be another part of the day before
Wait, I hear another song insomnia
About the days I wasn't tired
And doing that "fun retro look"
I stay awake for days
I stay awake for days
But I'd sit awake in daze anyway
I'm a maze of chains
Hey don't use the term accommodation
I won't be there for that and that will never be there for me
And I need to get some sleep slash resolution
About the days I wasn't tired
And doing that "fun retro thing"
I stay awake for days
I stay awake for days
But I'd sit awake in daze anyway
I'm a maze of chains
Over in the corner of a circle
I sleep behind this bedroom
I see "fun retro look"
Dine behind a suitcase in an empty room
It's time to leave millions behind
Hey that's what I took from retro look
I stay awake for days
I stay awake for days
But I'd sit awake in daze anyway
My sense to be: Sticking to a surface below my feet. And
when the day is done again I am a whitness of setting
suns.
And then I hear your call inside my narrow walls,
pretending doors are open.
Stay awake ? Insomnia
Face your fate ? Insomnia
Stay alive ? Insomnia
One more night ? Insomnia
My soul explodes because I know that distance is getting
near. I will get away over hills so high and across the
sea.
Walking down the line once again
Burning bridges but this time
is forever!!!
Giving another step
Over my own treads need to
Break this circle of involution
There is no rest There is no peace
There is no rest
There is no peace
I can feel void
Closing the gates of reality
Feeling hypnotized I crawl
Spirals of thoughts collapse
Fragments of life erased
Dissolution of realty as we know it
How could I wake up from this never dreamed nightmare?
Trying to recreate
My own self
Becoming
Reborn
In disguise
Autopilot state of inner confusion
Robotic impulse of self destruction
Stains of memories dissolved
Lost within myself
I can feel pain deep
Inside my mind
I became my own shadow
Over the edge
Falling in and out of time
History is always repeating
Day in day out
I wait to confront my fate
Mystery is never revealing
I will wait
I will wait
Night after night
Shrouded in secrecy
The harder I try to decipher this symphony
It pushes me closer to death
I begin to see alternate realities surrounding me
I am dying to get back to sleep again
I lie in my bed but I've seen the end
My days are numbered
In death I discover
Insomnia
Insomnia
I will wait
I will wait
Dying to get back to sleep again
I lie in my bed but I've seen the end
My days are numbered
In death I discover
Insomnia
well it may be hard to sleep at night
and it may be harder not to fight it
but when worst comes to worst, don’t just sit and hide it
let it all work out and don’t deny it
and now we try so hard at night, to pass it by without a fight
maybe the time is here
and I wish this was a dream, you really need to leave
so take your bags and go with your memories
from night to night
oh this goes on and on, and i'm so overcome
all this time has passed us by
and this is where we finally lie
head up face out, this is not your last goodbye
go on just leave me here, cause this night is going to hell
well its just one more night, we’ll make this time turn out well
go on just leave me here, cause this night is going to hell
well its just one more night, we’ll make this time turn out well
(we’ll make this time turn out)
and this goes on and on
Reading magazines and counting sheep to pass the time away
Hoping that tomorrow's gonna bring a smile BACK home again
Images of palm tree's swaying in the wind on South beach
Takes me back to better days, Summer days the everglades in June
My brain, my poor brain
My brain, my poor brain
I'm drinking myself to sleep again, Nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again, Insomnia
Flying high in golden skies, I'm flicking channels in my mind
Finding my utopia a different chapter in a book
Thinking back to younger days as I escape in Cooper's Break
It takes me back to 84 the future's knocking at my door
My brain, my poor brain
My brain, my poor brain
I'm drinking myself to sleep again, Nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again, Insomnia I'm drinking myself to sleep again, Nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again, Insomnia
Turning off a switch inside me, Leaving all the stress behind me
Flying over streams and houses, Passing over the Wye valley
It takes me back to 84 the future's knocking at my door
My brain, my poor brain
I'm drinking myself to sleep again, Nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again, Insomnia I'm drinking myself to sleep again, Nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again, Insomnia I'm drinking myself to sleep again, Nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Those dancing shadows no longer hypnotize
I trace the light around your face
That garden where I go to when I close my eyes
Has ceased to be my quiet place
(chorus)
Right on time
Right on time
Your love arrives right on time
Wake up I can't sleep
Hot tears run down my cheek
So sad when I start to cry
My head is so busy I can't keep my thoughts still
Make love to me like a lullaby
(chorus)
Those dancing shadows nolonger hypnotize
I trace a line around your face
That garden where I go to when I close my eyes
Has ceased to be my quiet place
Wake up I can't sleep
Hot tears run down my cheek
So sad when I start to cry
My head is so busy I can't keep my thoughts still
Make love to me like a lullaby.
I miss the girl, and the cigarettes
And the more I try, the more that I forget
To think of you is a flash to find
To think of you I find my light to pass the time
You want me to be that better one
Time goes slowly with you only
Insomnia my friend
Insomnia my friend
I miss the girl and I lost my light
So I'm stumbling through this hollow room for peace of mind
I find that I am going over everything I've said to you, for you
Insomnia my friend
Insomnia my friend
You want me to be that better one
Time goes slowly with you only
You want me to be that better one
Time goes slowly with you only
Insomnia my friend
Insomnia my friend
Insomnia, insomnia
I miss the girl whose not impressed by
ME:
To sleep. To die… that's all
No more
To sleep. To die.
Perchance to dream
I shall no longer close my eyes until it's dawn
To see how lifetime dreams may die when light is gone
No bitter sadness blurs my sight, tears I'll refrain
Now is the winter of my pain: it was all in vain
This night I woke up from some tragic dazed dream
To which I forceless could resist but never win
Poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage
The lights are off, the crowd is gone, the show now wants to die of age
I shall keep my eyes awake
I shall keep my eyes awake
I shall be strong
Carry on
Keep my eyes awake
I shall no longer close my eyes until it's dawn
To see how lifetime dreams may die
With flesh and bones
Good bye old dreams, good night sunlight,
Tears I'll refrain
I need no reason for my pain: it was all insane
can't sleep. I'm grinding my teeth
This is worse than anything
Worse than any bad dream
And I know, there's something
really wrong
I can't beat these symptoms in me
I can't shake the ailment.
Always gets the best of me
And I know, there's something
really wrong in me
Is it just the thoughts in my head
Is it just the thoughts in my head
Where I've been. where I'm going.
Where I'm at
Where I've been, where I'm going
Insomnia, can't sleep, well I guess I can't
Insomnia, can't stress,
'Cause my life's a mess
Insomnia, I can't take it
It tears me up and always ruins my day
I can't see, these visions in me
I can't shake the ailment
Always gets the best of me
And I know, there's something
really wrong in me
[CHORUS]
Tick tock goes the clock, should I get up -
Get a glass of water
Oh no, now I'm gonna pace the floor
In, out, in I go
Oh no, now I think I gotta check my head
What is this now
What is this in me
What is this now
Ailing me
What have they prescribed me
These pills will kill for sure
Insomnia, can't sleep, well I guess I can't
Insomnia, can't stress,
'Cause my life's a mess
Insomnia, I can't take it
The light is drifting away
The experience is passing by
I did not really witness the day
And now its end is nigh
In my state of mind
I am too irate to find rest
Too tired of being tired
Too overcharged to think straight
Chased by my thoughts
Trapped in between worlds
Everything is far away
Nothing is real
Everything's a copy
Of a copy of a copy
Chased by my thoughts
Trapped in between worlds
Too tired of being tired
Too overcharged to think straight
I only smoke weed when I need to,
And I need to get some rest,
I confess, I burnt a hole in the mattress,
Yes, yes, it was me, I plead guilty,
And on the count of three I pull back the duvet,
Make my way to the refrigerator,
One dry potato inside, no lie
Not even bread, jam,
When the light above my head went bam!
I can't sleep, something's all over me,
Greasy, insomnia please release me,
And let me dream about making mad love on the heath,
Tearing off tights with my teeth.
But there's no relief,
I'm wide awake in my kitchen,
It's dark and I'm lonely,
Oh, if I could only get some sleep,
Creaky noises make my skin creep,
I need to get some sleep,
I can't get no sleep...
The end of the night seems so long and hard to bear
And the blood upon my hand cannot be my own
Wait for the chance that has been given to you
Now leave this obstacle of fate
Walk across the field of light
Leaving no traces on it's ground
Dream tomorrow, come inside with us
For this second is now captured and frozen
In a secret place, hidden from the day
Time is everything
It stands it's strain
Feel the darkness drawing near
Breathe it's air
Like the rain that falls
Broken up yet frequently...
Just one last touch
As the curtain falls down
To halt the wheel in it's endless spinning
Hold twilight until dawn
To stop the stars in their skyward crossing
"I took a walk through this city tonight
Retracing steps etched in my mind,
Of the darkest days that we survived
The troubled youth of suburban life
And at the heart of that beach town
I swore to you our innocence
All you saw was difference, afraid of change, afraid of ambition
Time wont wait for me
I wont live life, lost and confused
I'll find direction with or without you
Now bunked up on these hardwood floors
I'm past tired and sleep eludes me
The punk rock show still sweats from our pores
Our minds are racing and our bones are still shaking
And we all can't sleep tonight knowing tomorrow we'll do it again
On the road in the am, the rising sun fills the walls of the van
All the letters never sent
Because all my time was spent
On stories you'll never know
Written out of my mind
Guided by white lines on these endless roads
4:19am
I have been here before
In a corner, on the floor
Sorrow chose this hour
Sadness set this time
Into the dark
Where I breathe free
But you can't see
I want you to leave me
Like a universe without a sun
And black hole as a soul
Creates an abcense of light
I'm afraid...(x8)...to dream...
Every night I ask myself: "What's happening to me?".
All the nightmares in my head try to kill me when I'm
asleep.
I am restless, I am sad, I don't know what I should do...
There's a pain inside my soul, I don't know why I'm so
afraid...
I'm afraid...(x4)
I feel there's someone watching over me, but I can't
explain.
There's no one beside me, but there's a coldness in my
heart...
I know there's something in the dark...cold it's touching
me...
It tries to break me, it tries to kill me... it's tearing
me apart!
Chorus: (x2)
I never want to close my eyes... (I never want to close
my eyes...)
I don't want to fall asleep... (I don't want to fall
asleep...)
I'm afraid...to dream... (I'm afraid...to dream...)
[Hook:]
It's late but I'm out on the creep
It's been a while since I heard you speak
Hard to rest when I've been on this road
All I want is you next to me because you help me sleep
I swear it 'bout 4 in the morning
And I'm outchea on it
Trying to fall through just to fuck with you
Well that's if you home, cause you help me sleep
[Verse 1:]
Getting harder and harder to relax, can't rest my back
Gotta be on my P's and my Q's when I roll with this
tool in the old school 'Lac
Cause niggas try to jack nowadays in the hood
Those broke niggas up to no good
Get the cup full of drank and I'm filling my tank
Plus I woke up some of that... good
Sticky-icky, sour, Jolly Rancher candy
Make the bottom of my cup sweet as your punany
Well I'm just joking shawty
I talk about pussy a lot and getting money when I get
unfocused shawty
Cause I'm dealing with the pain of the game
And it's getting harder to keep coping shawty
Cause I can't set the world and I showed that, so I
hold back
For doing what I can to be a better man forgetting you
know that
So we fuss and fight when I'm gone, wasn't right when
my wrongs
Almost there won't be long, don't fall asleep on the
phone
[Hook]
[Verse 2:]
Tell me what you got on, send a pic to my phone
I been out all day tryna make a way for you, hell yeah
I'm in the zone
Just eat you out, tell me what that peach about
Feeling good feeling great when I pull off your lace
And ease it in and ease it out
And ease it in again I got to get home, yeah I been
drinking
Don't be acting like it don't feel the same, I hear it
in your tone
Yeah I was wrong for earlier but baby girl I'm on the
So keep playing with yourself cause I'm making that
left
I'm at the gate, buzz me in, meet me at the door
Body soaking wet, panties on the floor
Yeah I got that, rocked that, beat it 'til it's sore
and I knocked it chopped it up
When you suck better sop that up, don't run when it's
deep better prop that up
Her fury rises as the sun rises
Her nerves set with the night
A myriad of malicious misers
keep their moons locked up tight
The night is police
poised to swat her patience she says
my bed my bed my bed my bed my bed's like a jail
The Morning Is a Freight train
barreling into the station she says
my mind my mind my mind jumped the tracks eye
lids to cover earth
like reaper hoods she says
I'll dig I'll dig I'll dig I'll dig to the center of
conscious
eyes on fire like balls of napalm she says
my hell my hell my hell's on earth
Her fury rises as the sun rises
Her nerves set with the night
A myriad of malicious misers
keep their moons locked up tight
[Slaine:]
Lately I've been feelin stifled by my addictions and reckless ways
Drownin in the depths of depression dreamin of yesterday
Breathless haze starin out the window while the record plays
Before the penmanship pennin lyrics in second grade
Let's just say I was raised holdin onto silent rage
'Til the day my anger manifested to my violent ways
And now they're here to stay, they keep tryin to hibernate
They never sleep, I never sleep at night, I'm always wide awake
I try to make a break away, but I'm always pulled back
The winter's cold, my knuckles are red, I rock a skullcap
I walk the streets at night, slidin on the ice
My own reflection in the sidewalks I've been fightin all my life
I've been writin all my life, schoolbooks to bar napkins
Product of froze streets, cool crooks, and hard rappin
I hear your palms clappin, I hear your cars crashin
I hear you livin and dyin this is how stars happen
[Hook:]
I didn't even known we'd fallen asleep [x2]
[Slaine:]
These long sheets of paper just get shorter when the candle burns
I'm tiptoein, openin doors, when the handle turns
The dark speaks, flames flicker, light trickles underneath the blinds
Open just the sides for eyes to peek out the window
At the dark skies and all the night's creeps
I look at my girl inside my bed and see my wife sleep
She breathes calmly; meanwhile I got a motherfuckin army
And madness sits behind me and my pad is all that matters
I scatter random words and abandon slurs
A writer with the tragic pen imaginin what can't occur
Can't occur, high as hell, open up a can of worms
Douse the world with gasoline and burn it, God damnit burn
My pen is mightier than swords, mightier than yours
Words live forever so they're mightier than wars
I can't sleep at all, I'm fighting for a cause
I am fighting for what's mine, I am fighting for what's yours!
Well it's five in the morning and I'm pacing down Harrow Road
(Harrow Road, Harrow Road)
And melatonin don't help no matter the dose
(The dose, the dose)
And insomnia it won't let me go, insomnia won't let me go
(Won't let me go)
Why do I have to write about you? I don't know
And why did I come to London? I don't know
(I don't know, I don't know)
Seven in the morning and I'm pacing down Rainham Road
(Rainham Road, Rainham Road)
Yeah, everyone sleeping while I'm creeping, I'm in a deep hole
The pharmacy is low, studio is closed and insomnia won't let me go
(Won't let me go)
Why do I have to write about you? I don't know
Why did I come to London? I don't know
Yeah why do I have to write about you? I don't know
I'm unprepared and I'm getting nowhere and everybody knows
That insomnia it won't let me go, insomnia won't let me go
(Won't let me go)
Go home
(Won't let me go)
I am your insomnia.
I am your worst nightmare.
I am your religion.
I am fear, come drink my ambrosia.
You are never sleeping.
You are always dreaming.
You pray to your master.
I am pain, your last solution
Save me, I am drowning!
Save me, I am dying!
Save you? I will not!
Enter now, my world of despair.
In this world I am freezing.
In this place I am dreaming.
This religion that I worship,
It's called Death and it's my master.
Chains around my body,
Thorns pressed into my skin.
Blood oozing from these wounds,
My sanity just slipped away.
I smile 'cause you're my saviour.
I die 'cause I am your victim.
Pain is all that matters,
Malam membuat diriku slalu terbiasa,
menahan rasa ingin tahu yang slalu terbawa-
kedalam setiap mimpiku,
merubah pola tidurku yang tak slalu benar.
Malam tak jauh berbeda dari yang biasa,
mencoba cari tahu apa yang tengah kurasa apa yang kan ku
lakukan,
mencari yang ku inginkan, menyebalkan.
Pergi dan slamat tinggal mimpi buruku,
kau slalu mengganggu dalam setiap mimpi-
tidurku, kini ku ingin terlelap,
kini ku ingin terhenyap,
Deep in the bossom
of the gentle night
is when I search for the light
pick up my pen and start to write
I struggle
and fight dark forces in the clear moonlight
without fear
Insomnia
I can't get no sleep
I used to worry
thought I was going mad in a hurry
getting stressed
making excess mess in darkness
no electricity
something's all over me
greasy
Insomnia please release me
and let me dream of making mad love to my girl on the heath
tearing off tights with my teeth
but there's no release
no peace
I toss and turn without cease
like a curse
open my eyes and rise like yeast
at least a couple of weeks since I last slept kept taking sleepers
but now I keep myself pepped
deeper still
that night
I write by candlelight
I find insight
fundamental movement
so when it's black
this insomniac
take an original tack
keep the beast in my nature
under ceaseless attack
I gets no sleep
Though you can give no more inspiring false security
I've got the reason to alter belief
Selfish paintings diamonds mutilate
You can't erase the way I'm unappreciated
But I can't sleep tonight
Embrace of the drink
Be hollow, swallow the pain
Splitting the fields
All the noise agitates
The stars have not aligned in your favor
Cross the line of obscenity
Ignoring the signs
The smoke in your eyes
Carelessly
Look to find a way, to love all the past promises, to keep you washed away.
Sever the ties
Broken by the black and white
Now fade away
The stars have not aligned in your favor
Cross the line of obscenity
Ignoring the signs
The smoke in your eyes
Carelessly
Look to find a way, to love all the past promises, to keep you washed away.
Laid in the ground
Were lost far beyond the clouds
Staring in the darks of hell, it's me.
Along the edge of belief
A heart always in the stars will never fade
Decay in the ground
Were lost far beyond the clouds
Pray in the dark for now
Prey on the sounds
And silence the darks around
Deep in the bosom of the gentle night
Is when I search for the light
Pick up my pen and start to write
I struggle, fight dark forces
In the clear moon light
Without fear... insomnia
I can't get no sleep
I used to worry, thought I was goin' mad in a hurry
Gettin' stress, makin' excess mess in darkness
No electricity, something's all over me, greasy
Insomnia please release me and let me dream of
Makin' mad love to my girl on the heath
Tearin' off tights with my teeth
But there's no release, no peace
I toss and turn without cease
Like a curse, open my eyes and rise like yeast
At least a couple of weeks
Since I last slept, kept takin' sleepers
But now I keep myself pepped
Deeper still, that night I write by candle light
I find insight, fundamental movement, uh
So when it's back this insomniac take an original tack
Keep the beast in my nature under ceaseless attack
I gets no sleep
I can't get no sleep
I can't get no sleep
I can't get no sleep
I need to sleep, although I get no sleep
I can't seem to dip deep in a pool of dreams
An incessant duel of dams and streams
6 degrees between me and wonderland
Eyelids bolted shut but pupils still on pan
Nothing else but ponder creation
A thousand and one basis conjured by sleep deprivation
Why O why is this crickets friction twig legs keeping me up?
Forcing the east and west edge of my pillow against this mug to plug
Like burning lights shinning in eyes with your lids cut off
I'm never a pagan pacing and chatter til Polly Grip
Mimicking maydays mission to the milky way playing lactose intolerant
While the flood grows up vertically
You're chained to a cactus trying to stay dry
Look up to the sky and see Billy hand cuffed to a kite
Some guys get all the luck
Reaching for nothing
Butting heads with a buck, kid
Wanting something someone else was entrusted with
I start my own flood
Repelling chunky discharge from my lips
Throwing up a flux of lost spirits
They're morbid culpable
Custody of revenge
Pending replies of those in tuned to elusive spooks rude and angry
That no one showed them salvation spearheaded by manger baby
How many compliments does it take to lift a frown?
A kind of down syndrome
Propped up on the rocker
Infamous mocker of BLAW-BLAW talker, Slapdash!
Vicadin or the chapel?
Opt for the latter of two addictions
Attention disorder canyon gap deficit
Impartial to dialogue outside the crevice
Potty mouth disperse stipend doses cold
Natural gifts play host to mold
Stuffed in the closet pocket of ability
Picturesque this pathetic messy
The eeny-meany-miny-mo approach to course
THE AGONY OF REPROACH
Oppositial static
Pragmatic to both HURRAH and CALM
Seeing the bright side of things while sanding off in the shade
Inprint my foot in the clay of painstaking
Coalesce fervid and precise
Splice bees to my honeycomb
Gambling talents pull and shoot
The plates prosperous down the line
Cry splats to an anti-empathic slab of foundation
Tasting the muck of experiences weve walked on passed
A lass residue on the sole of shoe
Peruse delusion
Whos to sooth my contusion?
Prove zero to be the moody barrens deeds
Glaring me when I condone charity
I sweep off the porch and bring the leaves back to the trees
In a literal sense, it makes none but think beyond a rubex cubex thought box set con
I water the plant in me
Embark on embracing catalogue eternity tasting a race formless
Smell the dill weeds
Keep seeps from acid plop atop dreams
With lips a grip anxiety and brimstone
DONT FOOL YOURSELF!
Pelted ego plethora of bore head trophies hung
High and mightys murk intake to charcoal the lung
Insert cancer glances which appears to be unsung
Punk oracle
Help the waddle up on toes
Riddle me lines of disgust
Knuckle heads is what I'm dealing with
Count the holes in the ceiling fist busts
Level with the modern day epiphany ME
I take a stroll down the doll western parts of gray matter
Call out through the desolate dwellings of all who pitter-patter
The mad hatter
Rescuing innocence down the hatches of slapdash
Transcend to lay pains in starving artist
The empty cartridge
My girlfriend mood swings me a couple of black eyes sometimes
Then the regretful kisses after cryin
Lying in park shadows on top of sheets
Watching my Tasmanian angel sleep
Picture perfect of my certain certains I'm nursing
Her, wanting to pull the plug on my compulsive flirting
What's wrong with a couple of complimental tries to someone in need of lies
By the way, unfrank and countless
Profound meets dumbfounded with sharp pains up the anis
The intellectual wink and force the dumb to explain it
Patterns of male magnet pulling played out
Due to stupor lab rats that can't hack a come on
Or let alone decode it
Cause in this game
Only the perceptive get promoted
While the hesitant become sediments of the clones who foreboded
Stones cackle at the guilty in mid air thrown by sinless
This never happened before people started asking forgiveness
Just to chuck pebbles that the misfortunate tortoises
But remember
All tortoises go to heaven
Because they take time to learn why they're running before they finish the race
Sleep
So may be you won't hear
The call of carnival
Close your window
Turn off the light
Sleep
Like a young boy out of fear
Running like the leaves
Down the sidewalk autumn night
Sleep
So maybe you won't feel
The air is blowing cold
The dead don't fear
To take a chill
Sleep
The autumn still is young
As you are growing old
With a turn of the furious wheel
The autumn is coming
Bringing sorrow and grey
The autumn is coming
Always here to stay
The wails of a lifetime
Are all gathered in it
The shadows are rustling
Can you feel yourself caught in this trap
Sleep
Slumbers crawl
Fast
Slow
Like the river flow
Wait
Till the dreams will come
Wrap you up and arm
Like the autumn shade
The dark isn't far
Stay here as you are
Try not to think
You had to run
With a night like this
So the sadness could not hurt
Stay up tonight,
Can't close your eyes,
You may miss the greatest moment of your life.
Bodies in a twine.
And shadows outta sight,
Don't wanna let the night burn up, yea.
Making the sun a turn off,
Baby let's be nocturnal,
Keep each other awake forever.
I'm your only turn on,
Making this love infernal,
And never see the day.
I can be a vampire be mine.
Run from the daylight,
Together we stay right,
Stay away, awake all night.
Never say good night,
No good in goodbye,
No way, so you'll stay,
You'll lay awake,
And you can be my insomnia.
You give me a love,
I'll stay up forever,
I can be your insomnia,
I can give you a rush,
Stay sleepless together.
You can be my insomnia,
You give me a love,
I'll stay up forever.
I can be your insomnia,
My touches is like a drug
that keeps you away, way.
Our touch, combined,
So terrifying.
Scared to let the morning take this away,
Dawn we'll break it,
I know well make it,
Cause in the dark it's our safest haven.
How come the star are shining?
How is it good rewinding?
Keep em outta sight.
I can be a vampire, be mine,
Run from the daylight,
Together we stay right,
Stay away, awake all night.
Never say good night,
No good in goodbye,
No way, so you'll stay,
You'll lay awake,
And you can be my insomnia.
You give me a love,
I'll stay up forever.
I can be your insomnia,
I can give you a rush,
Stay sleepless together.
You can be my insomnia.
You give me a love,
I'll stay up forever.
I can be your insomnia.
My touch is like a drug that keeps you away, way.
No way never turn back,
Hurt me like a heart attack,
Acting like a manic,
Be my love insomniac.
I'll bet they'll never know,
One touch I over dose,
So much I want some more,
So close.
I can be a vampire, be mine,
Run from the daylight.
Together we stay right,
Stay away, away from night.
Never say good night,
No good in goodbye.
No way, so you'll stay,
You'll lay awake,
And you can be my insomnia.
You give me a love,
I'll stay up forever.
I can be your insomnia,
I can give you a rush,
Stay sleepless together.
Wait, where is my bed, I thought I was there
I swear that I didn't come sit in this chair
But here I am, I guess that's fine
It's only something:49
I'll sleep it off tomorrow if I can
Did I take the pills? I think I'll take more
I thought that I left them here in this drawer
I guess I'll sit and think about
The last time that I took them out
And maybe I will remember where they are
There, drawer
Here, floor
Where, more
Huh.
There, bed
Here, bad head
It is 4 a.m.
I'm waiting in our bed alone,
Dreaming of your embrace
Wishing you would come back home
But you don't call,
And you don't come,
And you don't say,
That you miss me
And you don't stop
On your way by
To say hi
I'm feeling crazy
It is 5 a.m.
And I'm waiting by the phone again
This is not how it's 'sposed to be
You're 'sposed to be here with me
But you're go'n now
You're just go'n now
You don't even think about the way I feel
You're just go'n now
You're just go'n now
When I know you should be right here
It's 6 o'clock in the morning
And I'm so tired of yawning
I am miserable and feeling blue
Cause all I really want is you
But you don't call,
And you don't come,
And you don't say,
That you miss me
And you don't stop
To say hi
On your way by
I'm feeling crazy
It's 7 o'clock in the a.m.
In 15 minutes this alarm will be ringing
At work,no one will feel my pain
It's a shame the way this whole thing changed
But you're go'n now
You're just go'n now
You don't think about the way I feel
You're just go'n now
You're just go'n now
When you know that you should be right here
But you don't call,
And you don't come,
And you don't say,
That you miss me
No,no,no,no
And you don't stop
To say hi
On your way by
This is crazy
Brrring...
Time to wake up,
And put on my strong face
I drown...
For too long I felt the winter's breath
The rain keeps falling down into my soul
Thorns cover my grave... they hurt within me
I wonder how death shall ever set me free
When I cannot close my eyes
I wonder how death shall ever set me free
When there's even in this darkness no place for us to be
Wish I could kill myself again
The spectral lights would fade away
And I...
A thousand voices in my mind
A thousand empty faces starring at me
A thousand lies I can't forget
And one single life I do regret
The only thing left of me... an aura cold and blue
As the banshees embrace me with a sigh
I am gone...
The autumn's song is guiding me
With the sound of the weeping rain I fall asleep
Where am I? What is this place?
It is rainning again...
I have recroded my sleep for last ten nights
I can tell here is something weird happening
I keep on waking up in different places...
Aaaaggggggggggggggggghhhhhh
I feel like a zombie, slumber's beyond me, nights getting longer, long as Luke Longley,
Smallest sound is like a kombi van, back firing, was a comedy camera hired up in on this nightmare, nah I wish it was a nightmare, then a least I'd be asleep in my... bed,
My eyes bright red, feel like death by bed, weighed down cause my heads like lead,
Like Ned Kelly belly up, nothing stops me getting up, from weed paraphernalia or taking valium, I tried it, every herbal remedy diet, from reading to writing, nothing makes me tired.
My mind racing, sleep deprivation, the only one awake playing the waiting game, I'm facing the sun in an hour, everyone seems to be sound asleep.
Insomnia
I can't eat, feeling the heat, can't sleep
Insomnia
It's just me and the sounds of police on the street
Insomnia
I can't eat, feeling the heat, can't sleep
Insomnia
No retreat cause I never thought it'd happen to me
Feel like I'm in a parallel, paranoid, paradise, every word on repeat like a parrots life,
Every beat in my head starts to paralyse, Fahrenheit rising, feeding the parasites, like a satellite analyse the world cause I'm up again, antagonised by every gust of wind, must have been a comatose in my last life, now I lie awake like puffin on a glass pipe, can't hide and tryna count sheep, count three thousand and thirty three man pleaaaaase I need my z's, I'm tossing and turning, determined to kill Tyler Durban and beat the... Insomnia... Insomnia...
Strands of light on the bedroom floor... Strands of light on the bedroom floor...
I'm locked on nocturnal, can't watch the clock or stop the time turning, nothing that the doctor concocts is working, only the warlock can drop the curse on this earthling, the worst thing I work in three hours, can only scream like a werewolf howling, hope I'm powered by moonlight soon might, my crew are like? sucks to be you right?, too right yeah sucks to me friend, it's monotony like trying to find the seas end, deep breathing I plead for a little sleep, I pass fatigue now I questioning my beliefs, I can't believe it.
Can't remember the last eight hours sleep I had, all this anxiety is bad, my brain won't stop, find ya losing track of the days when you got...
Insomnia
I can't eat, feeling the heat, can't sleep
Insomnia
It's just me and the sounds of police on the street
Insomnia
I can't eat, feeling the heat, can't sleep
Insomnia
I never thought that I'd fall in love, love, love, love
But it grew from a simple crush, crush, crush, crush
Being without you girl, I was all messed up, up, up, up
When you walked out, said that you'd had enough-nough-nough-nough
Been a fool, girl I know
Didn't expect this is how things would go
Maybe in time, you'll change your mind
Now looking back i wish i could rewind
Because i can't sleep til you're next to me
No i can't live without you no more
Oh i stay up til you're next to me
Til this house feels like it did before
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah
Remember telling my boys that I'd never fall in love, love, love, love
You used to think I'd never find a girl I could trust, trust, trust, trust
And then you walked into my life and it was all about us, us, us, us
But now I'm sitting here thinking I messed the whole thing up, up, up, up
Been a fool (fool), girl I know (know)
Didn't expect this is how things would go
Maybe in time (time), you'll change your mind (mind)
Now looking back i wish i could rewind
Because i can't sleep til you're next to me
No i can't live without you no more (without you no more)
Oh i stay up til you're next to me (to me)
Til this house feels like it did before (Because it)
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah
Feels like insomnia ah ah (Ah), Feels like insomnia ah ah
Ah, i just can't go to sleep
Cause it feels like I've fallen for you
It's getting way too deep
And i know that it's love because
I can't sleep til you're next to me
No i can't live without you no more (without you no more)
Oh i stay up til you're next to me (to me)
Til this house feels like it did before
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah
a night like any other lying in the darkness
the clock ticking time to your breathing
you turn your back to me I know you're dreaming
