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
