I am an anchor
Tied to a chair
Afraid of what I would do
Growing in anger
Slipping away
At the thought of you
I think I'm going insane
Thinking of my changing my name
And flying away
Oh insomnia
Keep me awake
There's nowhere for me to escape
'Cause the nightmares
That live in my head walk beside me everyday
Oh insomnia
Make me insane
So I can't tell what's real and what is fake
And maybe the monsters might not be real
And I might decide to stay
I am awake
Counting the stars
And hoping to go to space
Where there is no sound
And I can scream out
Til' I can't feel any more pain
I never thought I could feel this way
Thinking of losing the game
And flying away
Oh insomnia
Hold me in place
I want to live another day
If I don't close
My eyes to sleep
Then maybe I get to stay
Oh insomnia
Curse me again
Mess with the things living inside my head
I'm fighting myself
And holding on
To everything I've pushed away
I've made a mistake
I don't want to feel this way
But am I to blame
I just didn't know how to deal with the pain
I've got nothing left to give
But I'm still aching to live
If insomnia
Keeps me awake
Oh insomnia
Keep me awake
Oh insomnia
Keep me awake
Oh insomnia
Keep me awake
