Insomnia Lyrics by Jack Rootes

Life Without Boundaries

0

[Verse 1]

Here I am again, up awake at 3 AM
Unable to fall sleep, so I just play pretend
Lying in bed, hoping that soon I'll drift off
Then once I do, my dreams finally can lift off
But it's hard to do so, when you're goin' full throttle
Lookin' for comfort at the bottom of alcohol bottles
'Cause you feel so drained whenever you wake up
Reasons for this mood, you have to go and make up

Yeah, my mood is feeling so damn close to dirt
Waking up at 7 on the weekends just to go to work
My situation's got my mental state below the earth
If you feel like I feel, then I'm sure you all know it hurts
But I know I got my whole life left still to give
Still reachin' out for what is left of my will to livе
I miss my friends and outside's like a scarcе land
Might just sleep all day, got nothin' else planned

[Hook]

I know that I should be asleep
But I'm in my thoughts too deep
Hope soon I drift off before the day breaks

Haven't slept the past couple of nights
Have to pretend that everything's fine
But deep down, I pray that one day
My insomnia will fade

[Verse 2]

Situations arise and they continue to stress me
I wonder if life's workin' against me to depress me
Might as well just not bother with making myself neat
Grab something to eat from downstairs, then go back to sleep
I wish that I could sleep until this feeling's over
Even if it means when I wake up, the season's gotten colder!
I used to think that I was blessed with these lyrics printed
But now I wonder with this power, am I truly gifted?

If life is comfortable, I should be happy and honest
So how come deep down, I feel so damn melancholic?
At times, my happiness builds up, but real slowly
Got a house full of family, yet I still feel lonely
Why am I even on this world in the first place?
I think my worst day ever was my 24th birthday
I feel like I do not belong, despite what others say
Cannot wait for the day that I finally escape

[Hook] (X2)

[Outro]

If I die before I wake
I pray my family is safe
Even when life turns so bleak
I pray that I may find some sleep

As the lights start to die
Let my hopes and dreams survive
So I wish, as I sleep tight
That I find peace throughout the night
