areeee – insomnia

opening:
areeee comin’ at cha – once you hear this beat -- you won’t get no
sleep (repeat)

verse build up:
insomnia -- need 48 hours in a day
insomnia – need some sleep right away
insomnia – i know that i’m gonna pay
insomnia – my head’s getting crazy
insomnia – just tryin to find myself
insomnia – depression i’m someone else
insomnia – i can’t get no sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep

verse 1:
this chemical imbalance is like a bullet stuck in my head
i can’t help but wonder at times why i’m not dead
thoughts running in my head they’re starting to spread,
got a six shooter in my hand, hope that i fall asleep instead
you can’t understand me and still demand i see
follow your ways but religions is meant to deceive
wanna tell me what’s right then you take someone’s life
say i should receive, without proof i can’t believe

bridge:
suicidal thoughts running around in my head
if i listen i’ll probably end up dead
depressions hard enough, enough said
manic takes over and then i’m good again

chorus:
insomnia -- need 48 hours in a day
insomnia – need some sleep right away
insomnia – i know that i’m gonna pay
insomnia – my head’s getting crazy
insomnia – just tryin to find myself
insomnia – depression i’m someone else
insomnia – i can’t get no sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep

verse 2:
my thoughts are a prison, made the decision, i’m stuck living
this chemical imbalance is always taking, never giving
no matter what i do, it’s never going to leave
it’s keeping me sick, it’s on repeat and i can’t breathe
no one can see, depression, manic release
all alone, manic leaves depression is me
you can have it all and still be stuck
times i sleep without my dreams, i feel so lost

bridge:
suicidal thoughts running around in my head
if i listen i’ll probably end up dead
depressions hard enough, enough said
manic takes over and then i’m good again

chorus:
insomnia -- need 48 hours in a day
insomnia – need some sleep right away
insomnia – i know that i’m gonna pay
insomnia – my head’s getting crazy
insomnia – just tryin to find myself
insomnia – depression i’m someone else
insomnia – i can’t get no sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep

ending:
suicidal thoughts running around in my head
if i listen i’ll probably end up dead
depressions hard enough, enough said
manic takes over and then i’m good again
suicidal thoughts running round in my head
if i listen i’ll probably end up dead
depressions hard enough, enough said
manic takes over and then i’m good again
