Audien ft. Parson James “Insomnia” Lyrics

It’s hard to give a damn about the sticks or stones
When all my bones been shook so long and
The ghost inside my head it keeps floating on and
all night long I pray in gone like
Oh… Oh…
Think i’ve forgotten how to sleep
Oh… Oh…
Think I’ve forgotten how to sleep

Oh, I don’t want to close my eyes
Cause I just want to stay alive
I’m fighting with the beast inside
Cause I don’t want to close my eyes
Oh, I don’t want to close my eyes
Cause I just want to stay alive
I’m fighting with the beast inside
And I don’t want to close my eyes
Eyes…

Eyes.

Been dancing in the gallows just to lose myself
I’ve come undone
I need some help and
I’m sick of throwing pennies in the wishing well
cause everyone goes straight to hell like
Oh… Oh…
Think I’ve forgotten how to sleep
Oh… Oh…
Think i’ve forgotten how to sleep

I don’t want to close my eyes
Cause I just want to stay alive
I’m fighting with the beast inside
Cause I don’t want to close my eyes
Oh I don’t want to close my eyes
Cause I just want to stay alive
I’m fighting with the beast inside
Cause I don’t want to close my eyes
Oh I don’t want to close my eyes…

I’m fighting with the beast inside
Oh I don’t want to close my eyes…
I’m fighting with the beast inside

Oh I don’t want to close my eyes…
I’m fighting with the beast inside
Oh I don’t want to close my eyes
Cause I just want to stay alive
I’m fighting with the beast inside
Cause I don’t want to close my eyes
Eyes…
