Somnombulance
Strung Out
Suburban Teenage Wasteland Blues (1996)

I lie awake again no sleep tonight
I find no peace in the quiet absence
Of the light
A million whispered thoughts floatin'
Through my head
A million seconds has passed me
By in my bed
One two three now it's four in the
Mornin' as the emptiness swallows
Me on more time
I grow a little older with every
Second that passes
I die a little every time I
Close my eyes
No sanctuary in my dreams
No quiet place to hide
Every night I swear it's the same
And I don't know where I'll be tonight
But I know sleep will come if
I walk all night
It's been a thousand hours maybe
Even more
Since I fell victim to all the
Thoughts I tried to ignore
Nameless faces and sounds, voices
Screamin' in pain, huddled shadows
And sirens voices calling my name.
Well I can't sleep but I'm not
Awake to this hazy dim version
of reality
Hypnotized by everything I
Can't control
Desensitized by everything
That controls me
Chorus
Well I can't sleep so
It's here in the dark
I'll make my peace with all that
I've learned
Sanity's just another dream away
Maybe with time it'll be alright
Everynight
I swear it's the same
I walk all night and never ever
Get anywhere
It's taken all my strength
It's taken all the life that used
To flow deep inside of me
So
In my dreams I'll find my peace
All of my days are filled with no rest
Maybe with time it'll be alright
