Atreyu - Insomnia Lyrics

I wish I could fall asleep
Thoughts of peace are haunting me
Begging for a lucid dream
My mental state is crushing me

TV static, blinking eights (TV static, blinking eights)
Eyes wide open, can't escape (eyes wide open, can't escape)
I'm not breathing but it's all the same (breathing but it's all the same)
Is living just a losing game?

Can't keep my head up, I'm drowning underwater
Life is getting harder, will I sink or swim?
It's like the days pass slower than the nights last
I just need a break, man, will I sink or swim?

Insomnia, insomnia
Will I sink or swim?
Insomnia, insomnia
Will I sink or swim?
Insomnia

I wish my brain could simply change like the weather
But here I am, it's pouring rain without a f*cking umbrella
Strangers are screaming but I'm here all alone
The walls come crashing down on me as I

Echo my heart beat, shatter my lungs
I can't escape my thoughts
So I'll just swallow my tongue
Spilling these words in blood onto a blank page
I swear I didn't feel this way back when I was young
I swear I didn't feel this way back when I was young

Can't keep my head up, I'm drowning underwater
Life is getting harder, will I sink or swim?
It's like the days pass slower than the nights last
I just need a break, man, will I sink or swim?

I'm taking my chances, I'm leaving my sanity
Buried it down in this hole in me (buried it down)
I'm losing the battle, I start to unravel
Until there is nothing that's left in me

Can't keep my head up, I'm drowning underwater
Life is getting harder, will I sink or swim?
It's like the days pass slower than the nights last
I just need a break, man, will I sink or swim?

Insomnia, insomnia
Will I sink or swim?
Insomnia, insomnia
Will I sink or swim?
Insomnia
