Club Insanity

I can't sleep
and there are monsters
at my window
and a spider in my bath
I want to put on
my shoes and run
away from this
insomnia
and I just earned
my membership card
in club insanity

Shoes

I put my prettiest shoes on,
tonight I want to dance.
I take my time in the bath,
making myself beautiful.
The shoes are shined,
and looking at me
from the corner of the room.
I can't wait for you to come,
take me by the hand.
I am glowing like a star.
All ready I sit down
on a chair to wait,
smiling to myself,
soon I know I'll be dancing.

Insomnia II

I doubt my sanity
I doubt my reality
I put my head down to rest
but thoughts are running
through my head
I scream at them
to slow down
to let me sleep
but insomnia has
taken me
is hugging me
singing it's crazy
lullabies to me

Insomnia

I want what you have
but will not give me
I am no longer myself
but masked
in layers of
medications.
Your life is good
but I can't sleep.
I am drained empty
no more life
no more passion
just the same after
the same after
the same
Someone rescue me,
someone take me by the hand
show me where is life
So many years wasted
and still no light
let me sleep.
