Somnombulance - Lyrics by Strung Out


Lyrics
I lie awake again no sleep tonight,I find no peace in the quiet absenceof the light
A million whispered thoughts floatin'through my head
A million seconds has passed meby in my bed
One two three now it's four in themornin' as the emptiness swallowsme on more time
I grow a little older with everysecond that passes
I die a little every time Iclose my eyes
No sanctuary in my dreams,no quiet place to hideevery night I swear it's the same
And I don't know where I'll be tonightbut I know sleep will come if
I walk all night
It's been a thousand hours maybeeven moresince I fell victim to all thethoughts I tried to ignore
Nameless faces and sounds, voicesscreamin' in pain, huddled shadows
And sirens voices calling my name.
Well I can't sleep but I'm not
Awake to this hazy dim versionof reality.
Hypnotized by everything Ican't control
Desensitized by everythingthat controls me
No sanctuary in my dreams,no quiet place to hide
Well I can't sleep soit's here in the dark
I'll make my peace with all that
I've learned
Sanity's just another dreamawaymaybe with time it'll be alright
Everynight I swear it's thesame,I walk all night and never everget anywhere
It's taken all my strength,it's taken all the life that usedto flow deep inside of me
Soin my dreams I'll find my peace
All of my days are filled with no rest
Maybe with time it'll be alright
