I-N-S-O-M-N-I-A

The sky outside is beginning to brighten But Asteria hasn’t released her hold yet Grabbing and devouring, your nightly Titan And you'd kill for a dream that you could forget No rapid-eye movement No slow-wave state No armor or shield from the night The station is buzzing The sleep train is late In your crowded head, passengers fight ‘Cause there's no dreaming tonight At the end of the day, you're a penny wiser Tho none much stronger for your pain You fought back the dogs and stepped thru the fire With the promise of rest ingrained in your brain No rapid-eye movement No slow-wave state No armor or shield from the night The station is buzzing But the train is late In your crowded head, the voices fight Where there's no dreaming tonight No dreaming tonight -- Nobody can rest around here No sleep mask to fight the vertical blinds No nocturnal siren to entrance the ear The sky outside is beginning to brighten But insomnia hasn’t let up its hold yet -- Guess there’s no dreaming tonight.
