Insomnia is a Bitch

[Verse 1]
Clock’s laughin’ in neon red
Three a.m., I'm still in my head
Tried warm milk, soft rain sounds
Now I’m scrubbing floors in the upside-down

Brain’s got a riot on repeat
Heart’s doin’ laps, no chance to sleep
Ghosts in the hallway, they grin and they twitch
(Insomnia, you spiteful witch...)

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve counted sheep, I’ve prayed, I’ve screamed
Tried to drift on melatonin dreams
But every shadow’s got a face
And my thoughts won’t give me space
I've had about enough of this endless wake, I've had about all I can fucking take

[Chorus]
Insomnia is a bitch!
Claws in deep, won’t quit
She’s got me mopin’, scrollin’, cryin’ in fits
Punch-drunk tired but still defiant
I wanna sleep, I beg, I twitch
But this night’s her little glitch
She’s a cruel, cold, sleepless witch
Yeah—insomnia is a bitch!

[Verse 2]
Dishes clatter, cats meow
(I’m alphabetizin’  my pain meds now...)
Vacuumed once, then vacuumed twice
Reorganized my whole damn tragic life

Wrote a poem on the bathroom wall
Chased a shadow down the hall
(His name was Steve)
Swore I saw a man in black
But he just waved and I waved right back

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve done the tea, the calm app voice
I’ve screamed into a pillow —There's just no choice
I blink and hours disappear
While my sanity sits grinding gears

[Chorus]
Insomnia is a bitch!
Whispers sweet apocalypse
She turns my bed to a torture rack
(I'm kind of into it but what the fuck) 
Then rides me like a panic attack
(Oh shit!)
I wanna sleep, just one damn stitch
But she’s got me held down in her glitch
Slaps me down without a switch
Yeah—insomnia is a bitch!

[Bridge]
I see things crawl across the wall
I hear them whisper in the hall
Reality starts slippin’ quick
And I start laughin’ — (this is sick!)

I’m not high, I’m not insane
(Maybe a little) 
I’m just sleep-starved, numb with pain

[Final Chorus]
Insomnia is a bitch!
Dark queen, a glitchin’ witch
She’s got me broken, buzzed, deranged
In this sleepless hunger cage
I wanna sleep, I wanna break
But she don’t give, she only takes
Night by night, scratch by stitch
Yeah—insomnia is a BITCH!
(Like, damn. At least spank me while you're at it...)
