Hayden Forbes - Insomnia lyrics

[Intro: Hayden Forbes] Yeah I know we're always talking about "Chasing Dreams" But how can I chase dreams if I can't even get any sleep? Let's talk about it [Verse 1: Hayden Forbes] The lights are off but my eyes are wide open Thoughts are flowing through my mind but I am hopin’ This insomniac poem, this no sleep ballad Will cure it once and for all, cause I’ve just about had it (Uh-huh) It's like Words keep coming, I’m almost freestyling in a mic (Yeah) But I’m all alone and it keeps piling through the night (Ugh) That’s why I take every emotion that I’ve ever had Ball up into a pen and point it at whatever pad These thoughts and flows are kinda crazy Cause your opinions have made me sleep deprived lately I swear, I can’t take this any longer With my emotions and time, I usually squander I’ll get stronger, I’ll conquer, for now, my shots are pretty weak This is an anti nursery rhyme, forget Little Bo Peep Instead, I lost my mind, my dreams I should at least try and keep So Lauren sing the hook while I try and get some much-needed sleep [Chorus 1: Lo] Keep the lights on For as long as possible I'm scared of my mind When I'm by myself Running out of time Running out my mind Shadows on the walls Insomnia keeps me up Can't escape at all [Verse 2: Hayden Forbes] Nope, I’m still up, this conscience nightmare is ironic No sleep for 3 weeks, it’s shaking my world up, tectonic But I’m not giving up, this'll take as long as it needs to be So I’m happily attacking dreams, but first I need to tackle sleep I’ll be confronting you when you say I’m worthless You’ve got some nerves, but this life is making me nervous I’m hurting, I'm burning, I know it isn’t working When I’m up all through the night trying to discover my purpose (Huh?) I’ve never been the kid wearing varsity letters I was alone, earbuds in, dressed in off-branded sweaters But certain reactions kept running me this way They were right, no one told me life was gonna be this way (Yeah) When everything I pushed out is now back in Everything I pushed out is now attackin’ Everything I pushed out now has impact and Everything I pushed out is now rappin’ So [Chorus 2: Lo] Here comes sleep time For as long as possible I'm scared of my mind When I'm by myself Running out of time Running out my mind Shadows on the walls Insomnia keeps me up Can't escape at all [Chorus 1: Lo] Keep the lights on For as long as possible I'm scared of my mind When I'm by myself Running out of time Running out my mind Shadows on the walls Insomnia keeps me up Can't escape at all
