Insomnia

pink elephants and sccoby doo
shrink wraped images of you
i havent slept for fifteen days
what planet am i on anyway

sleeping pills ive tried them all
knocked my head against a wall
a rush of blood or adreniline 
my eyes are bloodshot once again

insomnia
its the night of the living dead
insomnia i wish that i could leave my head
behind

i cant function in the daytime 
i cant function when its night
my mind lets go into the wind
my body there but im not in

if i pop more pills will they take effect
if i pop more pills will i be dead
feeling monged out from lack of sleep
i can not stand 
why cant i sleep

insomnia
its the night of the living dead
insomnia i wish that i could leave my head
insomnia a zombie taking over me
insomnia would somoone please murder
