Insomnia Insanity

In the insanity of insomnia Words take shape They form a voice from inside me And the invasion has me screaming rape Shadows disconnect and form mysterious mysteries Chasing me around these 10 square feet I’m hearing voices And seeing faces Having hallucinations of far away places Lost in the insomnia Counting sheep is useless Caginess has me pacing And I’m making things more of a mess The demons are chasing And the nightmares are growing The terrifying screams don’t carry sound And the tears are flowing No salvation to be found In the insanity I’m pleading with God Begging for a little bit of hope Maybe a bit of mercy on His part A little help with the hard stuff In the insanity of insomnia There is no reason to sleep No need to dream No want to wake up And an overwhelming urge to scream~
