Insomniac - Von Hertzen Brothers

I've got a rat in a cage

I feed it with hunger

A voluntary suppression overload

Until I'm seething with rage

Now is it a wonder

That any given moment something will explode

Can't knock the wind out of its sails

Or cut it wings and get it off my trail

Insomnia

This wicked insomnia

The untamed desire

The raving wildfire

Oh it keeps me awake

It's a destructive machine

Ticking the numbers

Every second builds the pressure in my head

I guess you know what I mean

The stress I am under

What a fate to be possessed until I'm dead

Can't knock the wind out of its sails

Or cut it wings and get it off my trail

Insomnia

This wicked insomnia

The untamed desire

The raving wildfire

Oh it keeps me awake

And I toss

And I turn

Cause I can't get sleep

What I lost

What I earned

Was it all sincere

Am I gross

Is she hurt

Is she sad like me

Did she know

Did I learn

What I sow I reap

It begins

And it builds

Till it makes me crack

And it kills

And it fills

Every dream I have

In my loins

In my head

On my heels

My back

In my groin

On my bed

Everywhere the rat

Can't knock the wind out of its sails

Or cut it wings and get it off my trail

Insomnia

This wicked insomnia

The untamed desire

The raving wildfire

Can't knock the wind out of its sails

Or cut it wings and get it off my trail

Insomnia

This wicked insomnia

The untamed desire

The raving wildfire

Oh it keeps me awake
