Insomnia

Charming Liars

I black out the lights
When I'm too gone from trying to reach heaven
My head swimming with pills
So I can feel a bit more human

I watch the walls a while
Make sure my rooms not caving in
To a distorted lullaby
It sounds just like this


Waiting for the free fall
Chill my nerves with menthol
All I have is bad dreams
I can't, can't keep my eyelids shut
I am insomnia

There's something dark, dark at the edge, edge of my bed
I can hear it breathing
Comes in close, whispers my name
Pulls at my soul but keeps my heart beating

I watch the walls a while
Make sure my rooms not caving in
To a distorted lullaby
It sounds just like this

Waiting for the free fall
Chill my nerves with menthol
All I have is bad dreams
I can't, can't keep my eyelids shut
I am insomnia
I can't, can't keep my eyelids shut
I am insomnia
I can't, can't keep my eyelids shut
I am insomniaI black out the lights
When I'm too gone from trying to reach heaven
My head swimming with pills
So I can feel a bit more human

I watch the walls a while
Make sure my rooms not caving in
To a distorted lullaby
It sounds just like this

[Bridge]
Trazodone and dirty water
Do, do your job and pull me under
Am I hallucinating, medication
I'm every shrinks favorite patient

I'm just waiting for the free fall
Chill my nerves with menthol
All I have is bad dreams
I can't, can't keep my eyelids shut
I am insomnia
I can't, can't keep my eyelids shut
I am insomnia
I can't, can't keep my eyelids shut
I am insomnia
