Lyrics

Insomnia

[Verse 1: Alfa Mist]

Under the covers, feelin' like I'm time wastin'

My mind's racin', my thoughts are migratin'

Thinkin' 'bout the work that I'm chasin'

A corpse alive waitin' for the door and then I'd stake it

But of course my eyes playin' tricks

The nights awful, the days amiss

This isn't normal while we're paid to drift

We'll have a makeshift portal made to the land of Nod

And if not, prayin' for the hand of God

Take me to the place where I can dream of days of Panda Pops

Poker in the classroom where I played my hand and lost

To a dragon dressed as a damsel in distress

Havoc in a dress showing random interest

I'm sittin' stressed, but nobody planned to interject

What is this? Well, imagine the brink of death had relatives

That's vaguely what happened

I think I slept, power napped for a minute

Get me a map to a different bed that's relaxing and rigged with sedatives

I'm tired

[Chorus: Emmavie]

In the night

Some sleep tight, but I

There's a song

That comes on, oh, I

In the night

Some sleep tight, but I

There's a song

That comes on, oh, I

[Verse 2: Alfa Mist]

Thinkin' this may become the death of me

Seein' the past with our hate, I love the memories

There ain't as much regret, still, I'm waking up in sweats

When the night is young 'cause I was only layin' for a sec

Wait, I think I jumped to someone messin' with my mind

Said a bullet to the brain is a blessing in disguise

I could rest to my demise, forget a nine-to-five

I reckon I could fly, weightless if I survive

But heaven if I die, a peasant in the sky

But maybe the lack of evidence is evidence of lies

Maybe my knack for negligence of everything is mine

Is being apathetic of strength, is that pathetic?

See, I remember when my years were academic

I used to blame my lack of funk chords on lack of credit

It wasn't that depressing, I just didn't feel the speed

Still don't, drag myself out of bed, I'm still defeated

I'm out of reach

[Chorus: Emmavie]

In the night

Some sleep tight, but I

There's a song

That comes on, oh, I

In the night

Some sleep tight, but I

There's a song

That comes on, oh, I

[Outro: Emmavie]

Is there a place in the sky?

Is there a place in the sky?

Does it exist? (I don't know, I don't know, no, no)

And this place in the sky

Why was it placed up so high? (I don't know)

Out of reach (No, no)

Out of reach

Out of reach
