Insomnia

(Album: Brothers Grimm - 2008)

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
No retreat cause I never thought it'd happen to me... ME
