INSOMNOMICON

Every time I close my eyes
The fire still burns
With screaming voices
Will it ever be my turn?
 
What ever have I become
As I write this Insomnomicon?
 
The madness everlasting
Faces in shadow
Dead eyes stare at me
Dragging me deep down below
 
I feel so dead
Dead in my heart
Dead to the world
 
My heart seems to be beating way too hard
And nerves seems severed by your shards
Things aren’t ever quite what they seem
My demons won’t stop clawing at me
Every night I wait with bated breath
I am beating myself to death
What ever have I become
As I write this Insomnomicon?
 
I see your ghost standing there
Maiden in the dark
Whispering my name
Before night dies to the spark
 
What ever have I become
As I write this Insomnomicon?
 
The sky seems to be graying
And birds start to scream
I can’t find my way
Back to my darkest dreams
 
I feel so dead
Dead in my heart
Dead to the world
 
My heart seems to be beating way too hard
And nerves seems severed by your shards
Things aren’t ever quite what they seem
My demons won’t stop clawing at me
Every night I wait with bated breath
I am beating myself to death
What ever have I become
As I write this Insomnomicon?
 
THE STRESS IS OVERBEARING
AND I CANNOT SHAKE THESE CHAINS
CRUSHING ME INTO THE GROUND
AND I CANNOT BREAK THESE CHAINS
I AM BURDENED BY THIS WEIGHT
AND I CANNOT MOVE THESE CHAINS
DRAGGING ME INTO MY GRAVE
AND I CANNOT BREAK THESE CHAINS
 
CHAINS
 
C H A I N S
 
C  H A  I  N  S
 
C   H   A   I   N   S
 
I feel so dead
Dead in my heart
Dead to the world
 
My heart seems to be beating way too hard
And nerves seems severed by your shards
Things aren’t ever quite what they seem
My demons won’t stop clawing at me
Every night I wait with bated breath
I am beating myself to death
What ever have I become
As I write this Insomnomicon?
