about

Is there anyone on Earth who could honestly say they have never suffered an attack of insomnia? That tossing maelstrom of ever-shorter times spent on one side, before turning over and trying the other, the penetrative burrowing 'sound' of seconds ticking, even in a room harbouring no clock.

lyrics

INSOMNIA

I can hear the seconds ticking 'round the clock
Seconds ticking, I'm waiting for the movement to stop
I can hear the patter of the rain on the roof
Seconds ticking but I'm certain that the hands don't move

And I'm worried down deep, I'm counting those sheep
Yes I'm worried down deep, so worried, can't sleep
Insomnia

I can hear the howling of the wind in the eaves
Seconds ticking, I'm hoping for the pressure to ease
I can hear the crying of another regret
Seconds tick in time, I'm hoping to forget

And I'm worried down deep, I'm counting those sheep
Yes I'm worried down deep, so worried, can't sleep
Insomnia

I can hear the rustle, feel the cling of the sheets
Seconds ticking in unison with my heartbeats
I can hear the hollow sound of my own breath
Seconds ticking are bringing me towards my death

And I'm worried down deep, I'm counting those sheep
Yes I'm worried down deep, so worried, can't sleep
Insomnia
