Muzyka i słowa: Dave Mustaine

I'm running in quicksand
Something is haunting me
The guilty past I've buried
My mind won't let me sleep
I'll do anything for peace, I keep waking up
A solemn oath I make
Cross my heart please let me sleep, I keep waking up
How much more do I take?

My head is talking to me; I don't know what it needs
But the loudest voice is the one I heed

Insomnia, my swollen bloodshot eyes
Insomnia, awake till morning light
Insomnia, stirring deep inside
Insomnia, somebody turn out the lights

I can't sleep, insomnia

I'm twisting and turning, I keep waking up
The madness I must tame
My candle is burning, I keep waking up
Both ends again today

The whole house is creaking
I know they're out there
The things kept from sight
I beg to the shadows, I can't sleep

Insomnia, footsteps on the walk
Insomnia, I hear someone knock
Insomnia, I wish it was a dream
Insomnia, can you hear me scream

Solo - Mustaine

I can't sleep, insomnia

Insomnia, my swollen bloodshot eyes
Insomnia, awake till morning light
Insomnia, stirring deep inside
Insomnia, somebody turn out the lights

I keep waking up, insomnia, I can't sleep
