Dave Mustaine - Insomnia lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm running in quicksand Something's haunting me The guilty past I've buried My mind won't let me sleep I'll do anything for peace - I keep waking up A solemn oath I make Cross my heart please let me sleep - I keep waking up How much more do I take My head is talking to me I don't know what it needs But the loudest voice Is the one I heed [Chorus] Insomnia, my swollen bloodshot eyes Insomnia, awake till morning light Insomnia, stirring deep inside Insomnia, somebody turn out the lights I can't sleep - insomnia [Verse 2] I'm twisting and turning - I keep waking up The madness I must tame My candle is burning - I keep waking up Both ends again today The whole house is creaking I know they're out there The things kept from sight I beg to the shadows I can't sleep [Chorus] Insomnia, footsteps on the walk Insomnia, I hear someone knock Insomnia, I wish it was a dream Insomnia, can you hear me scream
