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
