INSOMNIA


Never underestimate the power behind
And don't ever think that history is on it's own
Perhaps we grow as time goes on
But still the world repeats itself
As I rise, they fall around me
And when I fall it's all above me

I saw the moon again tonight
It drew me up into it's orbit
I floated in the same place
As many did before me
I fell back down and slept for days
But woke myself up the very next morning
Without sleeping at all

I'm laying in my bed now
With grass just underneath me
Nothing between me and the sun
But seven hours, windowed in
Outside my door the wall blocks me
And I can get inside the outside

When I look out to the sky at night
I'm blinded by the light
My eyes can't see, so I make it up
But it's all too dark for me to hear
And what can I see without my imagination

If you've got all the answers, tell me
But if you've got nothing to say, please tell me
I don't want to know about the world
But call me if you hear anything
I need to understand it all
But nothing makes a lot of sense to me

I'm alone in my life
With people everywhere
The more friends I have, the less I need
But the more I need, the less I have
And when I want to be alone
I'll join a group to stand alone
And when I need someone to talk to
I want to be alone








I sleep with my curtains open
This way I see the dark
My eyes are closed, and it's dark under hours
So wake up in the morning
To see the dark of early day
And if I can see the moon again today
I'll know I should be sleeping
But if the sun comes out at night
My eyes will not see anyhow

Talk about the days are long
But the night is not enough for rest
Change your clocks, and sleep for more
Wake up confused with time delays
And get tired of the rain
Go back to sleep and dream of waking up for the day

I shut the door, turn out my light
Close my eyes and make sure I see
All that's outside, open the blinds
The moon is high but I can't be here
If its dark how can I be where I think
In the darkness of the night
I'll never be seen for all are sleeping
Who can testify that I won't die
If no one else can see
Or maybe I just won't allow myself
To fall asleep, I'll watch the moon
It must be there for something
