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
