lyrics

It’s half past midnight, and I can’t get to sleep.
Reality is finally better than my dreams.
The harvest Moon is waning, Venus by its side
and I get to see it with night vision eyes.
I have insomnia, so I watch
heavenly bodies and the light that they touch.
This is my life, I don’t need a cure.
My night sky is so pure.

I watch the twilight cinema play inside my head.
I listen to the orchestra, the ideas that have bled onto my
pillow talk with the ghosts inside my sheets.
They’re hiding under the bed, giving me release.
I have insomnia, so I reap
the truths of my mind and the secrets they keep.
I guess that you’ll never really know
why I love shadow.

All the stargazers blinded by the glow
of this lack of sunlight that I’ve come to know.
This is no daydream, this is so very real.
So many others out there who know how it feels,
To have insomnia, so we sing
and dance in the starlight just like Saturn’s ring.
Break free from gravity and all of your laws.
You’ll never admit it but you need us because
we have insomnia, do you want to hear?
Turn all the lights off, let the darkness near.
Embrace my eclipse and see what we see.
Become nocturnal, just like me.
