"Insomnia" lyrics

"Insomnia"

And I will not grow tired
Of crayon stars and fire
The sunlight has punctured
Tiny holes of life

I closed my eyes
I held my breath (oh)
I prayed for light (oh)
And gasped for oxygen
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah

It wasn't there
I couldn't see
I prayed for light
To scare the shadow out of me
And ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah
And I couldn't sleep
