Insomnia Lyrics

Cage of dark
Night in the heart
Hours are days
Just passed away
Just alive beneath these caffeine eyes
Void and black
Insomniac
Night after night
No end in sight
And from wall to wall in the brain
The sweet faced angels on their paper wings
In dreams they scream instead of softly sing
Nerves that break
Just kept awake
Ready to die
With open eyes
Sleeping on the blade of an axe
Ready to crack
Insomniac
Night after night
No end in sight
Damn eternal moon you never move
An alien invader of this room
The ticking of the clock that never stops
Oh God!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
