Follow this insomnia
With my cloudy head
Makes me whisper all the sentences
I wish I'd never said
How could I have not
Just kept a leash around my tongue
And when this war of words is said and done
Who really ever won?
Scary how you outleash
On the ones that you admire
And when these mountains finally tumble
All your scorn just feeds the fire
Consider it pure joy
When you're faced with all these trials
Yes you persevere on dusty roads
But walk uncountless miles
How can you
See me through
This time
How can you
See me through
This time
And will the mountains ever go away?
Lying here awake
I count these shadows on my wall
Yes one for mercy, two for grace
The third ran down the hall
Chasing it to bitter ends
I finally realized
I ran that robber out of here
And with him went my pride
Sometimes to be normal
Is the craziest of all
Why is a normal person
Chasing shadows down the hall?
How can you
See me through
This time
How can you
See me through
This time
And will the shadows ever go away?
Why do you question?
You're standing in the middle
Would you like a suggestion?
Don't ask for all the answers
Expect them in a day
I promise you they'll go away
Looking in the mirror
Will I remember what I see?
Or will I walk away, forget the face
Staring back at me
I ask so many questions
Without listening at all
I climb that mountain without ropes
Prepare myself to fall
Prepare myself to fall
And count those shadows on my wall
Prepare myself to fall
And count those shadows on my wall
How can you
See me through
This time
How can you
See me through
This time
How can you
See me through
This time
How can you
See me through
This time
And yet they finally went away
With my cloudy head
Makes me whisper all the sentences
I wish I'd never said
How could I have not
Just kept a leash around my tongue
And when this war of words is said and done
Who really ever won?
Scary how you outleash
On the ones that you admire
And when these mountains finally tumble
All your scorn just feeds the fire
Consider it pure joy
When you're faced with all these trials
