INSOMNIA
Âó¼ÓµÙ˹(Megadeth) Lyrics

I'm running in quicksand
I feel like I'm stuck and can't move forward in life, no matter how hard I try.

Something's haunting me
There's a deep sense of regret and guilt that I just can't shake off.

The guilty past I've buried
I've tried to forget my past mistakes and bury them deep down, but they still manage to haunt me.

My mind won't let me sleep
No matter how tired I am, my mind keeps racing and won't let me rest.

I'll do anything for peace - I keep waking up
I'm desperate for some peace of mind and a good night's sleep, but it seems to escape me.

A solemn oath I make
I make a promise to myself to try and get some sleep tonight.

Cross my heart please let me sleep - I keep waking up
I desperately want to fall asleep, but I keep waking up and can't seem to get a proper rest.

How much more do I take
I'm at my breaking point and can't take this insomnia anymore.

My head is talking to me
I can't seem to silence the thoughts and worries in my head.

I don't know what it needs
I'm not sure what my mind and body require to get some rest and feel better.

But the loudest voice
Out of all the thoughts and voices in my head, the most intense and persistent one is the one that keeps me up at night.

Is the one I heed
No matter how hard I try to ignore it, the loudest voice always gets my attention and keeps me awake.

Insomnia, my swollen bloodshot eyes
My lack of sleep is causing my eyes to become swollen and bloodshot, making me look and feel even worse.

Insomnia, awake till morning light
I can't fall asleep and end up staying awake until the early hours of the morning.

Insomnia, stirring deep inside
This insomnia is affecting me on a deep level, both physically and mentally.

Insomnia, somebody turn out the lights
I'm desperate for some darkness and quiet to help me fall asleep, but it seems unattainable.

I'm twisting and turning - I keep waking up
I can't get comfortable and keep tossing and turning, leading to broken sleep.

The madness I must tame
This constant lack of sleep is driving me insane, and I need to do something to control it.

My candle is burning - I keep waking up
I feel like I'm burning the candle at both ends, leaving me exhausted and unable to sleep.

Both ends again today
I know I'm pushing myself too hard and not taking care of myself properly.

The whole house is creaking
The house seems to be alive and making noises, which only adds to my anxiety and inability to sleep.

I know they're out there
I'm convinced that there's something or someone lurking outside, making it even harder for me to relax and fall asleep.

The things kept from sight
There are secrets and fears that I've buried deep down and refuse to confront, making it hard for me to get a good night's sleep.

I beg to the shadows
I'm so desperate for some relief that I'm even pleading with the shadows and darkness to give me some peace.

Insomnia, footsteps on the walk
I hear footsteps outside, which only adds to my paranoia and inability to sleep.

Insomnia, I hear someone knock
I hear a knock on the door, which only adds to my anxiety and inability to sleep.

Insomnia, I wish it was a dream
I wish I could wake up from this living nightmare of insomnia and finally get some rest.

Insomnia, can you hear me scream
I'm so frustrated and exhausted that I just want to scream and let out all my pent-up emotions.
