Lyrics

Insomnia

[Verse]

Though you can give no more inspiring false security

I've got the reason to alter belief

Selfish paintings diamonds mutilate

You can't erase the way I'm unappreciated

But I can't sleep tonight

Embrace of the drink

Be hollow, swallow the pain

Splitting the fields, all the noise agitates

[Pre-Chorus]

The stars have not aligned in your favor

Cross the line of obscenity!

[Chorus]

Ignoring the signs

The smoke in your eyes

Carelessly

Walk the edge with me and we'll be unchallenged

[Post-Chorus]

Look to find a way to love all the

Past promises to keep you washed away

[Bridge]

Sever the ties

Broken by the black and white

Now fade away

[Pre-Chorus]

The stars have not aligned in your favor!

Cross the line of obscenity!

[Chorus]

Ignoring the signs

The smoke in your eyes

Carelessly

Walk the edge with me and we'll be unchallenged!

[Post-Chorus]

Look to find a way to love all the

Past promises to keep you washed away

[Coda]

Laid in the ground

We're lost far beyond the clouds

Staring the darks of hell, it's me

Along the edge of belief

A heart always in the stars will never fade

Decay in the ground

We're lost far beyond the clouds (Beyond the clouds)

Pray in the dark for now

Prey on the sounds

And silence the dark surround!

Reach for a spark of doubt, believe!
