Insomnia

I lie awake in bed

With voices in my head,

Those shadows on the wall...

I think I've lost it all.

My heart's broken,

Sanity's gone,

My cuts - open

Again, Alone.

He left me... again.

I'm dying... again.

Voices keep screaming,

Eyes won't stop tearing.

My eyelids won't stick together

Because those thoughts won't leave me.

I'm staying awake forever.

Baby, don't try to cure me.

You said you'll stay

But you've gone away...

You said you love me,

How come you left me?

I'm still awake in bed

And my eyes are still red

'Cause I can't stop crying

And I think I'm dying.

How am I gonna live?

What am I gonna do?

How am I gonna breathe?

Now that you left me too...

I am 21 years or older.
