I'm running in quicksand
Something's haunting me
The guilty past I've buried
My mind won't let me sleep
I'll do anything for peace (I keep waking up)
A solemn oath I make
Cross my heart, please let me sleep (I keep waking up)
How much more do I take?
My head is talking to me, I don't know what it needs
But the loudest voice is the one I heed
Insomni-omni-omni-omni-omnia - My swollen bloodshot eyes
Insomni-omni-omni-omni-omnia - Awake 'til morning light
Insomni-omni-omni-omni-omnia - Stirring deep inside
Insomni-omni-omni-omnia - Somebody turn out the lights
I, I, I can't sleep
I, I, insomnia
I'm twisting and turning (I keep waking up)
The madness I must tame
My candle is burning (I keep waking up)
Both ends again today
The whole house is creaking, I know they're out there
The things kept from sight, I beg to the shadows, I can't sleep
Insomni-omni-omni-omni-omnia - Footsteps on the walk
Insomni-omni-omni-omni-omnia - I hear someone knock
Insomni-omni-omni-omni-omnia - I wish it was a dream
Insomni-omni-omni-omni-omnia - Can you hear me scream?
I can't sleep
Insomni-omni-omni-omni-omnia - My swollen bloodshot eyes
Insomni-omni-omni-omni-omnia - Awake 'til morning light
Insomni-omni-omni-omni-omnia - Stirring deep inside
Insomni-omni-omni-omnia - Somebody turn out the lights
Insomnia, insomnia
Insomnia, insomnia
I, I, I, insomnia
I can't sleep
Insomnia
I, I can't sleep
I, I can't sleep
Insomnia
I, I can't sleep
Insomnia
I can't sleep
I can't sleep
I can't sleep

I'm running in quicksand
Something's haunting me
The guilty past I've buried
My mind won't let me sleep
I'll do anything for peace (I keep waking up)
A solemn oath I make
Cross my heart, please let me sleep (I keep waking up)
How much more do I take?
My head is talking to me, I don't know what it needs
But the loudest voice is the one I heed
Insomni-omni-omni-omni-omnia - My swollen bloodshot eyes
Insomni-omni-omni-omni-omnia - Awake 'til morning light
Insomni-omni-omni-omni-omnia - Stirring deep inside
Insomni-omni-omni-omnia - Somebody turn out the lights
I, I, I can't sleep
I, I, insomnia
I'm twisting and turning (I keep waking up)
The madness I must tame
My candle is burning (I keep waking up)
Both ends again today
The whole house is creaking, I know they're out there
The things kept from sight, I beg to the shadows, I can't sleep
Insomni-omni-omni-omni-omnia - Footsteps on the walk
Insomni-omni-omni-omni-omnia - I hear someone knock
Insomni-omni-omni-omni-omnia - I wish it was a dream
Insomni-omni-omni-omni-omnia - Can you hear me scream?
I can't sleep
Insomni-omni-omni-omni-omnia - My swollen bloodshot eyes
Insomni-omni-omni-omni-omnia - Awake 'til morning light
Insomni-omni-omni-omni-omnia - Stirring deep inside
Insomni-omni-omni-omnia - Somebody turn out the lights
Insomnia, insomnia
