It is 4 a.m.
I'm waiting in our bed alone
Dreaming of your embrace
Wishing you would come back home

But you don't call
And you don't come
And you don't say
That you miss me
And you don't stop
On your way by
To say hi
I'm feeling crazy

It is 5 a.m.
And I'm waiting by
the phone again
This is not how it's
'sposed to be
You're 'sposed to be here with me

But you're gone now
You're just gone now
You don't even think
about the way I feel
Cause just gone now
You're just gone now
When I know you
should be right here

It's 6 o'clock in the morning
And I'm so tired of yawning
I'm miserable and feeling blue
Cause all I really want is you

But you don't call
And you don't come,
And you don't say
That you miss me

And you don't stop
On your way by
To say hi
I'm feeling crazy

It's 7 o'clock in the a.m.
In 15 minutes this alarm
will be ringing
At work no one will feel my pain
It's a crime the way things change

Brrring...
Time to wake up,
And put on my strong face
And hope that no one will know

You have managed to turn me
From a woman of substance
Into a brick flying, calling too damn much
Crying and crying, spying way down down low
With flats on
From the opposite side of the bar
Easy-Off loaded on top of your car chick
I never intended to be this chick
Groping at smoke for her mind
Or the readily dissolving remnants of it
after being chased I've been dismissed
As just an object, something to play with
You have managed to turn me
From a woman of substance to this

There's a light bulb dangling from string
It's slowly swaying up over my head now
As I jot down the words that'll never be sung
And wait for my headache to numb
And the wind sounds as if the world's sighing
And the moon's just a torn fingernail
As the TV flickers and hums by the wall
And I wait for my eyesight to fade

So, So, So
It's so damn slow
So, So, So
It's so damn slow

And the bright-eyed choke on ambition
And the old folks circle their graves
And the young ones are busy destroying their names
And you're still just wasting away.
I sit and watch the screen for a message
Some kinda sign that says we're OK
But the screen stays blank till I turn the thing off
And wait for my conscience to break.

So, So, So
It's so damn slow
So, So, So
It's so damn slow

I hope you're learning to listen
And I hope you're learning to stay
And I hope you find what you're missing
And I hope that you're making you're way
I'm a headcase if I don't keep moving
And my head hurts if I don't sit still
It's an itch that I'll never stop scratching
It's a hole that I'll never quite fill

So

Reading magazines and counting sheep to pass the time away
Hoping that tomorrow's gonna bring a smile BACK home again
Images of palm tree's swaying in the wind on South beach
Takes me back to better days, Summer days the everglades in June
My brain, my poor brain
My brain, my poor brain
I'm drinking myself to sleep again, Nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again, Insomnia
Flying high in golden skies, I'm flicking channels in my mind
Finding my utopia a different chapter in a book
Thinking back to younger days as I escape in Cooper's Break
It takes me back to 84 the future's knocking at my door
My brain, my poor brain
My brain, my poor brain
I'm drinking myself to sleep again, Nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again, Insomnia I'm drinking myself to sleep again, Nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again, Insomnia
Turning off a switch inside me, Leaving all the stress behind me
Flying over streams and houses, Passing over the Wye valley
It takes me back to 84 the future's knocking at my door
My brain, my poor brain
I'm drinking myself to sleep again, Nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again, Insomnia I'm drinking myself to sleep again, Nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again, Insomnia I'm drinking myself to sleep again, Nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again, Insomnia.

I miss the girl, and the cigarettes
And the more I try, the more that I forget
To think of you is a flash to find
To think of you I find my light to pass the time

You want me to be that better one
Time goes slowly with you only

Insomnia my friend
Insomnia my friend

I miss the girl and I lost my light
So I'm stumbling through this hollow room for peace of mind
I find that I am going over everything I've said to you, for you

Insomnia my friend
Insomnia my friend

You want me to be that better one
Time goes slowly with you only

You want me to be that better one
Time goes slowly with you only

Insomnia my friend
Insomnia my friend
Insomnia, insomnia

I miss the girl whose not impressed by
Insomnia and my cigarette light, my cigarette light

I never thought that I'd fall in love, love, love, love
But it grew from a simple crush, crush, crush, crush
Being without you girl, I was all messed up, up, up, up
When you walked out, said that you'd had enough-nough-nough-nough

Been a fool, boy I know

Didn't expect this is how things would go
Maybe in time, you'll change your mind
Now looking back i wish i could rewind

Because i can't sleep til you're next to me

No i can't live without you no more
Oh i stay up til you're next to me
Til this house feels like it did before
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah

Remember telling my boys that I'd never fall in love, love, love, love

You used to think I'd never find a girl I could trust, trust, trust, trust
And then you walked into my life and it was all about us, us, us, us
But now I'm sitting here thinking I messed the whole thing up, up, up, up

Been a fool (fool), boy I know (know)

Didn't expect this is how things would go
Maybe in time (time), you'll change your mind (mind)
Now looking back i wish i could rewind

Because i can't sleep til you're next to me

Oh i stay up til you're next to me (to me)
Til this house feels like it did before (Because it)
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah
Feels like insomnia ah ah (Ah), Feels like insomnia ah ah

Ah, i just can't go to sleep

Cause it feels like I've fallen for you
It's getting way too deep
And i know that it's love because

I can't sleep til you're next to me

No i can't live without you no more (without you no more)
Oh i stay up til you're next to me (to me)
Til this house feels like it did before
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah

And the more I try, the more that I forget

To think of you I find my light to pass the time

You want me to be that better one
Time goes slowly with you only

I miss the girl whose not impressed by
Insomnia and my cigarette light, my cigarette light

Tomorrow will be another part of yesterday
And yesterday will be another part of the day before
Wait, I hear another song insomnia
About the days I wasn’t tired
And doing that “fun retro look”

I stay awake for days
I stay awake for days
But I’d sit awake in a daze anyway
I’m a maze of chains

Hey don’t use the term accommodation
I won’t be there for that and that will never be there for me
And I need to get some sleep slash resolution
About the days I wasn’t tired
And doing that “fun retro thing”

I stay awake for days
I stay awake for days
But I’d sit awake in a daze anyway
I’m a maze of chains

Over in the corner of a circle
I sleep behind this bedroom
I see “fun retro look”
Dine behind a suitcase in an empty room
It’s time to leave millions behind
Hey that’s what I took from retro look

I stay awake for days
I stay awake for days
But I’d sit awake in daze anyway
I’m a maze of chains

I need some Valium, Zanex, Percaset, Darvaset, Vicodin, Calaudapin, sleeping pills and Niquil.
I can't sleep yo and it's driving me mad it's like my eyelids are glued to the top of my forehead.
I lie in bed with my eyes wide open but Duddy don't you worry you'll be sleeping in a moment, then moments turn minutes and minutes turn to hours then hours turn to long ass nights and cold showers.
It's four in the morning still wide awake let's see how many bong tokes Duddy B can take.
I already drank all the alcohol left in my house now I sit here wide awake with a dry fucking mouth and I just think of all the things on my mind and then I let um roll around about a million times until it's got me you it grabs a hold of me baby, it's insomnia kids you know its driven me crazy.

[Chorus]
Turn out the lights lie my head down, I lie my head down I close my eyes.
Now all I do girl is lie here I think I'll die here insomnia.

Push my face in the pillow to asphyxiate the sound, I'd cry my self to sleep but I'm too scared that I might drowned.
I'm calling for the sandman but I don't think he's in town, and all these sleepless nights have running thoughts have got me down.
I think I got a sudden case of narcolepsy maybe call up Duddy B so we can smoke the best weed and give me something nice so it can calm my chest peace and talk about these things that we really don't need.
Now as I lay in bed in my head I'm running circles stuck in the land of low light and infomercials.
Its insomnia kids you know its drivin' me crazy only thing that can save me is an overdose maybe.

[Chorus]
Turn out the lights lie my head down, I lie my head down and close my eyes.
Now all I do girl is lie here I think I'll die here insomnia.

Fallen fallen, trying to fall asleep. Fallen fallen but my eyes are just too weak.
Fallen fallen, trying to fall asleep. Fallen fallen but my eyes are just too weak.

Turn out the lights lie my head down, I lie my head down and close my eyes.
Now all I do girl is lie here I think I'll die here insomnia

I only smoke weed when I need to,
And I need to get some rest, yo, where's the cess.
I confess, I burnt a hole in the mattress,
Yes, yes, it was me, I plead guilty,
And on the count of three I pull back the duvet,
Make my way to the refrigerator,
One dry potato inside, no lie
Not even bread, jam.

When the light above my head went bam!
I can't sleep, something's all over me,
Greasy, insomnia please release me,
And let me dream about making mad love on the heath,
Tearing off tights with my teeth.
But there's no relief,
I'm wide awake in my kitchen,
It's black and I'm lonely,
Oh, if I could only get some sleep,
Creaky noises make my skin creep,
I need to get some sleep,
I can't get no sleep....

Deep in the bosom of the gentle night
Is when I search for the light
Pick up my pen and start to write
I struggle, fight dark forces
In the clear moon light
Without fear... insomnia
I can't get no sleep

I used to worry, thought I was goin' mad in a hurry
Gettin' stress, makin' excess mess in darkness
No electricity, something's all over me, greasy
Insomnia please release me and let me dream of
Makin' mad love to my girl on the heath
Tearin' off tights with my teeth
But there's no release, no peace
I toss and turn without cease
Like a curse, open my eyes and rise like yeast
At least a couple of weeks
Since I last slept, kept takin' sleepers
But now I keep myself pepped
Deeper still, that night I write by candle light
I find insight, fundamental movement, uh
So when it's back this insomniac take an original tack
Keep the beast in my nature under ceaseless attack
I gets no sleep
I can't get no sleep

I can't get no sleep
I can't get no sleep
I need to sleep, although I get no sleep
I need to sleep, although I get no sleep

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

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

(Tell me....give it to me...)
I never thought that I'd fall in love, love, love, love
But it grew from a simple crush, crush, crush, crush
Being without you girl, I was all messed up, up, up, up
When you walked out, said that you'd had enough-nough-nough-nough

Been a fool, girl I know
Didn't expect this is how things would go
Maybe in time, you'll change your mind
Now looking back i wish i could rewind

Because i can't sleep til you're next to me
No i can't live without you no more
Oh i stay up til you're next to me
Til this house feels like it did before
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah

Remember telling my boys that I'd never fall in love, love, love, love
You used to think I'd never find a girl I could trust, trust, trust, trust
And then you walked into my life and it was all about us, us, us, us
But now I'm sitting here thinking I messed the whole thing up, up, up, up

Been a fool (fool), girl I know (know)

Til this house feels like it did before (Because it)
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah
Feels like insomnia ah ah (Ah), Feels like insomnia ah ah

Ah, i just can't go to sleep
Cause it feels like I've fallen for you
It's getting way too deep
And i know that it's love because

I can't sleep til you're next to me
No i can't live without you no more (without you no more)
Oh i stay up til you're next to me (to me)
Til this house feels like it did before
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah

Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah

Though you can give no more
Inspiring false security
Ive got the reason to alter belief
Selfish paintings diamonds mutilate
You cant erase the way Im unappreciated but I cant sleep tonight
Embrace the drink
Be hollow, swallow the pain
Splitting the field
All the noise agitates

The stars have not aligned
In your favor
Cross the line of obscenity

Look to find a way to love all the past promises
To keep you washed away

Sever the ties, broken by the black and white
Now fade away

Laid in the ground
Were lost far beyond the clouds
Staring in the darks of hell
Its me
Along the edge of belief
A heart always in the stars will never fade
Decay in the ground
Were lost far beyond the clouds
Pray in the dark for now

Prey on the sounds and silence, the darks around
Reach for a spark of doubt
Alive
