Insomnia
V1
Hopeful
Ready
Into bed
Pillow soft
Beneath my head
Slide into the velvet dark
Daily cares have left their mark
Pre-chorus
I hold my breath now, what's that voice
Leaving me without a choice
Oh no, not again
Chorus
Insomnia, insomnia
What a ruthless captor
Insomnia, insomnia
I don't know what you're after
V2
Twisting
Turning
Tangled quilt
Ropes of sorrow
Threads of guilt
Gone the hope of healing sleep
No one here my soul to keep
Pre-chorus
I groan and fumble for the light
Going to be a hellish night
Oh no, not again
Chorus
Insomnia, insomnia
What a ruthless captor
Insomnia, insomnia
I don't know what you're after
Bridge
Sweet god Somnus hear my plea
Bring your healing sleep to me
Old regrets have made me tough
Is that not punishment enough?
Chorus
Insomnia, insomnia
What a ruthless captor
Insomnia, insomnia
I don't know what you're after
