Insomniac's Lament

from Shadowbox by Mechanical Ghost

/

lyrics

I… I dream of sleep.
I want nothing from
You or from your world.
I… I dream of sleep.
A little silence
Before I break down .

Reach between the layers,
Cut away the pain.
Tear it all out at the roots
And nothing will remain.
Reach into the heart, now
Take it in your hands.
Darker than the blackest night,
It still slips through like sand.

I… I dream of sleep.
I long for the peace
Of unconsciousness.
I… I dream of sleep.
But it never comes
Solace rejected.

Every promise broken,
Every tie undone.
The master of the burnt bridge,
Waging war with the sun.
Every night's the same,
Asylum denied.
Left alone with all my thoughts
Festering inside.

I… I dream of sleep.
A chance to escape
From all of this noise.
I… I dream of sleep.
But it's been so long
I can't disconnect.
