Insomnia Lyrics by Drapht

Brothers Grimm

2008

[Intro]
Argh!

[Verse 1]
I feel like a zombie, slumber's beyond me
Nights get longer, long as Luke Longley
Smallest sounds like a Kombi van
Backfiring, was a comedy camera hiding up in this
Nightmare, nah, wish it was a nightmare (Yeah)
Then at least I'd be asleep in my bed
My eyes bright red, feel like death by bed
Weighed down, 'cause my head's like lead
Like Ned Kelly, belly up, nothin' stop me gettin' up
From weed paraphernalia or takin' valium
I tried it, every herbal remedy, diet
Readin' and writin', nothin' makes me tired
My mind racin', sleep deprivation
The only one awake playin' the waiting game
Facin' the sun in an hour
Everyone seems to be sound asleep

[Chorus]
Insomnia, I can't eat
Feelin' the heat, can't sleep, sleep
Insomnia, it's just me
And the sounds of police on the street, street
Insomnia, I can't eat
Feelin' the heat, can't sleep, sleep
Insomnia, no retreat
'Cause I never thought it'd happen to me, me

[Verse 2]
Feel like I'm in a parallel, paranoid paradise
Every word on repeat like a parrot's life
Every beat in my head starts to paralyse
Fahrenheit risin', feedin' 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, I tried to count sheep
Count three-thousand-and-thirty-three, man, please
I need my Zs, I'm tossin' and turnin'
Determined to kill Tyler Durden and beat the
Insomnia
Insomnia

[Interlude: Olivia Newton-John]
"Strands of light on our bedroom floor—
Strands of light on our bedroom floor"

[Verse 3]
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 howlin'
Overpowered by moonlight, soon light
My crew like, "Yeah, sucks to be you, right?"
Too right, yeah, sucks to be me, friend
It's monotony like tryna find the seas end
Deep breathin', I plead for a little sleep
Past fatigue, now I questionin' my beliefs, I can't believe it
Can't remember the last eight hour sleep I had
All this anxiety is bad
My brain won't stop
Find you're losin' track in the days when you got

[Chorus]
Insomnia, I can't eat
Feelin' the heat, can't sleep, sleep
Insomnia, it's just me
And the sounds of police on the street, street
Insomnia, I can't eat
Feelin' the heat, can't sleep, sleep
Insomnia, no retreat
'Cause I never thought it'd happen to me, me
