Insomnia Songtext

von Electric President

There's a lifeboat danglin' from string
It's slowly swaying up over my head now
As I jot down the words that'll never be sung
And wait for my headache to numb

And the wind sounds as if the world's sighin'
And the moon's just a torn fingernail
As the TV flickers and hums by the wall
And I wait for my eyesight to fade

So...so...so...it's so damn slow
So...so...so...it's so damn slow

And the bright-eyed choke on ambition
And the old folks circle their graves
And the young ones are busy destroying their names
And the earth's still just wasting away

I sit and watch the screen for a message
Some kind of sign that says we're okay
But the screen stays blank 'til I turn the thing off
And wait for my conscience to break.

So...so...so...it's so damn slow
So...so...so...it's so damn slow

And I hope you're learnin' to listen
And I hope you're learnin' to stay
And I hope you find what you're missin'
And I hope that you're making you're way

And I'm a head case if I don't keep movin'
And my head hurts if I don't sit still
It's an itch that I'll never stop scratchin'
And it's a hole that I'll never quite fill

So...
