Insomnia Songtext
Yeah
I know we're always talking about "Chasing Dreams"
But how can I chase dreams if I can't even get any sleep?
Let's talk about it

The lights are off but my eyes are wide open
Thoughts are flowing through my mind but I am hopin’
This insomniac poem, this no sleep ballad
Will cure it once and for all, cause I’ve just about had it (Uh-huh)
It's like
Words keep coming, I’m almost freestyling in a mic (Yeah)
But I’m all alone and it keeps piling through the night (Ugh)
That’s why I take every emotion that I’ve ever had
Ball up into a pen and point it at whatever pad
These thoughts and flows are kinda crazy
Cause your opinions have made me sleep deprived lately
I swear, I can’t take this any longer
With my emotions and time, I usually squander
I’ll get stronger, I’ll conquer, for now, my shots are pretty weak
This is an anti nursery rhyme, forget Little Bo Peep
Instead, I lost my mind, my dreams I should at least try and keep
So Sydney sing the hook while I try and get some much-needed sleep

Keep the lights on
For as long as possible
I'm scared of my mind
When I'm by myself
Running out of time
Running out my mind
Shadows on the walls
Insomnia keeps me up
Can't escape at all

Nope, I’m still up, this conscience nightmare is ironic
No sleep for 3 weeks, it’s shaking my world up, tectonic
But I’m not giving up, this'll take as long as it needs to be
So I’m happily attacking dreams, but first I need to tackle sleep
I’ll be confronting you when you say I’m worthless
You’ve got some nerves, but this life is making me nervous
I’m hurting, I'm burning, I know it isn’t working
When I’m up all through the night trying to discover my purpose (Huh?)
I’ve never been the kid wearing varsity letters
I was alone, earbuds in, dressed in off-branded sweaters
But certain reactions kept running me this way
They were right, no one told me life was gonna be this way
(Yeah)
When everything I pushed out is now back in
Everything I pushed out is now attackin’
Everything I pushed out now has impact and
Everything I pushed out is now rappin’
So

Here comes sleep time
For as long as possible
I'm scared of my mind
When I'm by myself
Running out of time
Running out my mind
Shadows on the walls
Insomnia keeps me up
Can't escape at all

Keep the lights on
For as long as possible
I'm scared of my mind
When I'm by myself
Running out of time
Running out my mind
Shadows on the walls
Insomnia keeps me up
Can't escape at all
