I'm running in quicksand
  something's haunting me
  the guilty past I've buried
  my mind won't let me sleep
    I'll do anything for peace - I keep waking up
  a solemn oath I make
  cross my heart please let me sleep - I keep waking up
  how much more do I take
    My head is talking to me
  I don't know what it needs
  but the loudest voice
  is the one I heed
    Insomnia, my swollen bloodshot eyes
  Insomnia, awake till morning light
  Insomnia, stirring deep inside
  Insomnia, somebody turn out the lights
  I can't sleep - insomnia
    I'm twisting and turning - I keep waking up
  the madness I must tame
  my candle is burning - I keep waking up
  both ends again today
    The whole house is creaking
  I know they're out there
  the things kept from sight
  I beg to the shadows
  I can't sleep
    Insomnia, footsteps on the walk
  Insomnia, I hear someone knock
  Insomnia, I wish it was a dream
  Insomnia, can you hear me scream
