"Insomnia" lyrics

Ten thousand years I've waited for the dawn - I travel southward
This is the turning point
What does nostalgia mean to me?
It's hard to stay in line when all I've done is walk in circles
But now I'm cutting corners
Burden breaks, the mirror cracks, and I fall
Down!

I'll go down singing silent pleas to
A face that I once loved- a face that I used to know
Demons found me but something's got me paralysed
Sleep has denied me
And got me waking up - insomnia

Four thousand lives I've lived and now I trace four thousand footsteps
The apparition in my head reflects what's haunting me
I feel my strings begin to fray - my wit will surely fracture
I feel my curtains draw a close; I turn away; embrace the applause

I'll go down singing silent pleas to
A face that I once loved- a face that I used to know
Demons found me but something's got me paralysed
Sleep has denied me
And got me waking up - insomnia

All of my lives have reappeared
Trapped me in the dark; so clear
I might find my way down here

All of my lives have disappeared
Lost within the atmosphere
I might find my way down here
Way down here

All of my lives have disappeared
Feel my conscience start to clear
Waging wars, but I'm still here

Go down singing silent pleas to
A face that I once loved- a face that I used to know
Demons found me but something's got me paralysed
Sleep has denied me
And got me waking up - insomnia
