insomniaic delusions

Dm, F, Em, Am

Dm, C, G, A

I used to be able to leave behind my consciousness

when I would turn out the light

I used to be able to lay my head onto my pillow and

fall asleep at night

the voices in my head will give me no quarter,

how they love to ramble on about you

it seems my sleeping state gets shorter

every night I find myself awake alone without you

I wish that I could exorcise the shining image

of your visage from my mind

perhaps I somehow could unmeet you if I only

had the power to go back in time

its like a mongoose has been let loose in my mind

and its destroying all of my mental facilities

I wish that coping with existing without you

was somehow one of my intrinsic capabilities

      CHORUS:

there is still some hope for me to find a way

      to rid myself of you

      the hope lies in the possibility that I might somehow

      find myself somebody new

it seems a most abnormal thing is starting to

develop deep within my heart

I am developing a tolerance for how it feels

inside to me when we’re apart

I guess that all those simple people who told me that

all that it would take was time

have magically obtained some insight on the inner workings

of a young man in his prime

I’m sure that I could write a million songs and poems for you

but it wont make any difference

I know that I am powerless to penetrate the fickle forcefield

of your cold indifference

there was a time when I had once believed in true love

and I thought you were the one

I find myself a bit more cynical now that I know my life

is not as fun
