Sweet Insomnia

(Gwyn)
I watch the world spin slowly,
Through heavy sunken eyes,
My head is filled with echos of sleepless lullabys,
(Jamie)
The ceiling started splitting,
The shadow's crossed the light,
My mind will gently crumble,
As I stumble through the night,
(Both)
I know we've been lovers,
I've got my work covered,
My balance is not in the red,
I know recent sorrows,
No dreaded tomorrow,
So why can't i lay down my head,
Don't wake me from my sweet
(Gwyn)
Insomnia
(Jamie)
Cold, relentless hunger
My sanity is spent
I'm drowning in the melody of a lonely night's lament,
(Gwyn)
The single crack is spreading,
The shadow's air and flow,
My mind is SOFTLY breaking as my waking hours grow,
(Both)
The curtains are drawn,
Concealing the dawn,
I'm happily quilted in bed,
No-one's in the cupboard,
That could be discovered,
So why can't I lay down my head?
(Jamie)
Don't wake me from my sweet insomnia,
(Gwyn)
A dreamless drifting heartache,
Restless shade of blue,
My ticking clock is melting,
And the numbers are askew,
(Jamie)
The ceiling is collapsing,
The shadows on my soul,
I'm softly broken minded,
As my blinded hours grow,
(Both)
No solace in song,
The pills don't last long,
I don't know what else I can do,
The day seems uncertain,
As I draw back the curtain,
Could it be that I'm longing for you,
Don't wake me from my sweet insomnia
