SLAINE - Insomnia lyrics

rate me

Lately I've been feelin stifled by my addictions and reckless ways

Drownin in the depths of depression dreamin of yesterday

Breathless haze starin out the window while the record plays

Before the penmanship pennin lyrics in second grade

Let's just say I was raised holdin onto silent rage

'Til the day my anger manifested to my violent ways

And now they're here to stay, they keep tryin to Hibernate

They never sleep, I never sleep at night, I'm always wide awake

I try to make a break away, but I'm always pulled back

The winter's cold, my knuckles are red, I rock a skullcap

I walk the streets at night, slidin on the ice

My own reflection in the sidewalks I've been fightin all my life

I've been writin all my life, schoolbooks to bar napkins

Product of froze streets, cool crooks, and hard rappin

I hear your palms clappin, I hear your cars crashin

I hear you livin and dyin this is how stars happen

I didn't even known we'd fallen asleep

These long sheets of paper just get shorter when the candle burns

I'm tiptoein, openin doors, when the handle turns

The dark speaks, flames flicker, light trickles underneath the blinds

Open just the sides for eyes to peek out the window

At the dark skies and all the night's creeps

I look at my girl inside my bed and see my wife sleep

She breathes calmly; meanwhile I got a motherfuckin army

And madness sits behind me and my pad is all that matters

I scatter random words and abandon slurs

A writer with the tragic pen imaginin what can't occur

Can't occur, high as hell, open up a can of worms

Douse the world with gasoline and burn it, God damnit burn

My pen is mightier than swords, mightier than yours

Words live forever so they're mightier than wars

I can't sleep at all, I'm fighting for a cause

I am fighting for what's mine, I am fighting for what's yours!
