Paroles de Insomnia

There's a light bulb dangling from string
It's slowly swaying up over my head now
As i jot down the words that'll never be sung
And wait for my headache to numb
And the wind sounds as if the world's sighing
And the moon's just a torn fingernail
As the tv flickers and hums by the wall
And i wait for my eyesight to fade

So, so, so
It's so damn slow
So, so, so
It's so damn slow

And the bright-eyed choke on ambition
And the old folks circle their graves
And the young ones are busy destroying their names
And you're still just wasting away.
I sit and watch the screen for a message
Some kinda sign that says we're ok
But the screen stays blank till i turn the thing off
And wait for my conscience to break.

So, so, so
It's so damn slow
So, so, so
It's so damn slow

I hope you're learning to listen
And i hope you're learning to stay
And i hope you find what you're missing
And i hope that you're making your way
I'm a headcase if i don't keep moving
And my head hurts if i don't sit still
It's an itch that i'll never stop scratching
It's a hole that i'll never quite fill
