Insomniac
Justus Bennetts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think I might be losing my mind slowly
And I wish I knew how to relax
But maybe I'm a insomniac
Havin' conversations
With all of the voices inside my head
I must've been mistaken
On and on, I feel like a zombie
But my coffee's strong, it feels like, like I can feel my heartbeat
I'm awake but hardly, hardly even alive
I'm runnin' on no sleep
I think I might be losing my mind slowly
And I wish I knew how to relax
But maybe I'm a insomniac
And every time I think my eyes are closing
I realize it's already the morning
And I wish I knew how to relax
But maybe I'm a insomniac, yeah
Wanna dream, feels like I'm stuck inside a nightmare
Knowing I should get up outta bed, but I just lay there
Sidetracked, time-lapse, life is kickin' my ass
Maybe I would sleep a little better if I tried less
On and on, I feel like a zombie
But my coffee's strong, it feels like, like I can feel my heartbeat
I'm awake but hardly, hardly even alive
I'm runnin' on no sleep
I think I might be losing my mind slowly
And I wish I knew how to relax
But maybe I'm a insomniac
And every time I think my eyes are closing
I realize it's already the morning
And I wish I knew how to relax
But maybe I'm a insomniac, yeah
