Insomnia - Slough Feg

My eyes are seeing faces in the darkness

While my mind is seeing darkness in the light

The silent specters that only come out in the night

While I’m drowning in the blood of your survival

Keeping busy making nightmares of your dreams

My violent laughter is only drowned out by your screams

And where there’s peace of mind

You know there’s always lies

Another victim of your self-protection dies

When you ask if I’m afraid of seeing zombies

It’s the walking animations that I fear

The silent specters just waiting for sleep to appear

And when people ask me why I’m always grinning

It’s because I’m seeing faces in the walls

The silent shield of insomnia finally falls

And when there’s peace of mind

You know there’s always lies

Now that this mutant race has left you all behind

Another victim of your self-protecting lies

And when the battle’s over

Shackled in time and colder

And stamp your witness on the ground

Your earthly time elapsing

Wittiness the star collapsing

When lost in time is lost and found
