Looks Like Insomnia, Feels Like Insanity
God, please quiet these conflicting voices inside my head
Is one of them yours? It's getting harder to tell.
I'm trying to filter them out.
My days and nights are blending together
And I'm losing sight of what really matters
too hard to read, too loud to hear, too close to see
Minutes turned to hours turned to days
that I've wasted, watching and waiting,
debating my next move (too afraid to)
Locks turned to vaults turned to safes
and I've misplaced, forgotten combinations,
replacing my excuse with circumstancial truth
My days and nights are blending together
And I'm losing sight of what really matters
too hard to read, too loud to hear, too close to see
I've opened door after door, only to stare outside,
hoping someone will find me here.
Is it fear that has blocked my escape
from this place (inside myself)?
Am I afraid of the unknown or of leaving my comfort zone?
These walls are all I've known for so long.
My days and nights are blending together
And I'm losing sight of what really matters
Too hard to read, too loud to hear, too close to see
If insanity is my destination, let me know when I get there.
If ambiguity is my transportaion, let's be open-minded. Where
am I going?
Too hard to read, too loud to hear, too close to see
Feels like insanity
