Insomniac
Music by PinPoint Mercy
Lyrics by Geoff Piper
Darkness is blurring.
My conscious is returning.
The light hits the lids of my eyes.
I’m tossing and turning.
The voices are recurring; I’m fearing a new sunrise.
In my blind rage
The silhouettes are dancing lonely through my haze.
Out of this place come peace for me.
Inside there is a clamor to erase.
Morning is stirring but this old man is pouring
From a cistern laden with derides.
A mind full averring.
Illusions occurring
Become my daily reprise.
Night and day
The shivering of illness sinks me like a plague.
Out of this place come peace for me.
Inside there is a stammer to replace.
As I lay I’m at a loss.
Watch the sun beat down and
Break the ground that lies beneath my fate
Beneath my feet.
Watch the moon drip down as I
Embrace the frown that grows upon my face.
Hear me now.
Listen to the worry quiet down.
My palette is made of shades
But it’s rich enough to stave.
I am painting across the skies.
In my blind rage
I find my thoughts among the shadows of my gaze.
Out of this place come peace for me.
Put it to a good use and create.
Watch the sun beat down as I
Embrace the frown that slows upon my face.
As I lay I’m at a loss.
