Collectively Known As Susan - Insomnia Lyrics

Lying here with my eyes up on the ceiling
Sunk so low I no longer know the feeling
My head starts reeling in the dead of night
And I don't know how to make things right
Tossing and turning, my brain keeps up the fight
As time starts burning and I can't get to sleep at night

And as I keep my thoughts on better dreams
My focus fades, the silence screams
Just loud enough that I can't keep my peace
I think things will be fine once I'm asleep

My patience is fleeting and I cannot rest
As restless legs send shivers to my chest
I can't help feeling like I'm falling behind
While the morning lingers on the back of my mind
A disposition I've come to detest

I wish I could just close my eyes and drift
Away from here and all this inner shift
But I'm still yearning for a solid night's respite
As time keeps burning, I'm unable to sleep at night

And as I keep my thoughts on better dreams
My focus fades, the silence screams
Just loud enough that I can't keep my peace
I think things will be fine once I'm asleep

Here I lay in the dark up until first light
Maybe I will get some sleep tonight
