    Lyrics

    Insomnia

    [Verse 1]

The day is incomplete

The thoughts of total defeat

I don’t know what is happening to me

Or if I’ll die ‘cause I just never sleep

[Pre-Chorus]

You awoke into my night

You could see the madness in my eyes

[Chorus]

I’ve lost control, please save me from myself

I’ve lost control, please save me from myself

[Verse 2]

My conscience begs for time

But you can’t fight the clock ticking inside

I’m just a bigger baby me

Acting smart, oh, what irony

[Pre-Chorus]

Where will I end up tonight?

Getting fucked or frying my mind?

[Chorus]

I’ve lost control, please save me from myself

I’ve lost control, please save me from myself

[Verse 3]

Calm me down with your caress

I’ll get off while I watch you undress

Maybe the sex will help me to forget

A precious, transient, a schizophrenic bliss

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh my god, you’re beautiful

Why do you stay with this neurotic fool?

[Chorus]

I’ve lost control, please save me from myself

I’ve lost control, please save me from myself

I’ve lost control, please save me from myself
