Insomnia
Silence fills your heart
as the words
she sang to sleep
make you remember the insomniac night
the altering wait
can i ever find someone to fill the silent void
can i ever find someone
to lift away the shame, an everlasting grace
I stay awake
for you to leave me nothing
I stay awake
to the void the darkness
I stay awake
to bend your silence
I stay awake
I’m staying awake
your heart is silent
never knowing empathy
if apathy is all you see
apathy is all you'll breed,
the silence filling the air
not an emotion,
why'd I even care,
never going back
I can never come back
can I ever find someone to fill the silent void
can I ever find someone
to lift away the shame, an everlasting grace
I stay awake
for you to leave me nothing
I stay awake
to the void the darkness
I stay awake
to bend your silence
I stay awake
I’m staying awake
give me something
I plead for sorrow
I’ll bleed for you
just let me never go back
I can never go back
can I ever find someone to fill the silent void
can I ever find someone
to lift away the shame, an everlasting grace
I stay awake
for you to leave me nothing
I stay awake
to the void the darkness
I stay awake
to bend your silence
I stay awake
I’m staying awake
stay awake
for you to leave me nothing
I stay awake
to the void the darkness
I stay awake
to bend your silence
I stay awake
I’m staying awake
