insomnia

megadeth’in risk albümünden bir şarkı.

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
