Insomnia Lyrics & Chords By Slaine

Lately I’ve been feeling stifled by my addictions and reckless ways
Drowning in the depths of depression dreaming of yesterday
Breathless haze staring out the window while the record plays
Before the penmanship penning lyrics in second grade
Let’s just say I was raised holding onto silent rage
Till the day my anger manifested to my violent ways
And now they’re here to stay, they keep trying 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 sliding on the ice
My own reflection in the sidewalks I’ve been fighting all my life
I’ve been writing all my life, schoolbooks to bar napkins
Product of froze streets, cool crooks, and hard rapping
I hear your palms clapping, I hear your cars crashing
I hear you living and dying, this is how stars happen
I didn’t even known we’d fall asleep
I didn’t even known we’d fall asleep
These long sheets of paper just get shorter when the candle burns
I’m tiptoeing opening 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 motherfucking army
And madness sits behind me and my pad is all that matters
I scatter random words and abandon slurs
I write em with the tragic pen imagining what can’t occur
Can’t occur, high as hell, open up a can of worms
Douse the world with gasoline and burn it, goddamnit 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
