Insomnia

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
