Insomniac Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Rock and roll is just smoke and mirrors
I'll give you hell
Can you give it back?
Sing alongs make it so much clearer
These are the pros of insomniacs
Toss and turn 'til the evil sunrise
Paranoid, there's no turning down
Thoughts reverse, now they're counterclockwise
Is this me breaking down?
[Chorus]
Can we stay up and fight?
We can say things we'll take right back
Don't call it a night
Are we all lost insomniacs?
Can we stay up and fight?
(Lost insomniac)
Are we all lost insomniacs?
Don't call it a night
(Lost insomniac)
I'll be your lost insomniac
[Verse 2]
My bed is cold and my thoughts are colder
I'm a ghost in a burning town
Memories that I cannot shoulder
Is this me breaking down?
Is this me breaking down?
[Chorus]
Can we stay up and fight?
We can say things we'll take right back
Don't call it a night
Are we all lost insomniacs?
Can we stay up and fight?
(Lost insomniac)
Are we all lost insomniacs?
Don't call it a night
(Lost insomniac)
Just stay up with me
Just stay up with me
[Bridge]
Oh, the sacrifice
Constant sacrifice
Do it each and every night
Each and every night
I can cry and play the victim and I know you'll disagree
But I'd trade places any day
The life I live is just smoke and mirrors
I'd give the world just to slow it down
Every day, see the edge is nearer
Is this me breaking down?
[Chorus]
Can we stay up and fight?
We can say things we'll take right back
Don't call it a night
Are we all lost insomniacs?
Can we stay up and fight?
(Lost insomniac)
Are we all lost insomniacs?
Don't call it a night
(Lost insomniac)
Just stay up with me
Just stay up with me
Don't call it a night
(Don't call it a night)
Don't call it a night
(Don't call it a night)
Don't call it a night
(Don't call it a night)
I'll be your lost insomniac
Rock and roll is just smoke and mirrors
I'll give you hell
Can you give it back?
Sing alongs make it so much clearer
These are the pros of insomniacs
Toss and turn 'til the evil sunrise
Paranoid, there's no turning down
Thoughts reverse, now they're counterclockwise
Is this me breaking down?
Can we stay up and fight?
We can say things we'll take right back
Don't call it a night
Are we all lost insomniacs?
Can we stay up and fight?
(Lost insomniac)
Are we all lost insomniacs?
Don't call it a night
(Lost insomniac)
I'll be your lost insomniac
My bed is cold and my thoughts are colder
I'm a ghost in a burning town
Memories that I cannot shoulder
Is this me breaking down?
Is this me breaking down?
Can we stay up and fight?
We can say things we'll take right back
Don't call it a night
Are we all lost insomniacs?
Can we stay up and fight?
(Lost insomniac)
Are we all lost insomniacs?
Don't call it a night
(Lost insomniac)
Just stay up with me
Just stay up with me
Oh, the sacrifice
Constant sacrifice
Do it each and every night
Each and every night
I can cry and play the victim and I know you'll disagree
But I'd trade places any day
The life I live is just smoke and mirrors
I'd give the world just to slow it down
Every day, see the edge is nearer
Is this me breaking down?
Can we stay up and fight?
We can say things we'll take right back
Don't call it a night
Are we all lost insomniacs?
Can we stay up and fight?
(Lost insomniac)
Are we all lost insomniacs?
Don't call it a night
(Lost insomniac)
Just stay up with me
Just stay up with me
Don't call it a night
(Don't call it a night)
Don't call it a night
(Don't call it a night)
Don't call it a night
(Don't call it a night)
I'll be your lost insomniac

Ryan said this about this song:
"We were all Nirvana fans, but in our high-school days, Stubhy and I bonded over all things Cobain-related. One of the first time's I ever saw him (I had heard of him, but not actually seen him), he was strolling through the halls of our school - stoned as all hell with sunglasses on - wearing a bright-pink (and clearly homemade) t-shirt that said "I'd Rather Be Dead Than Cool" (from Nirvana's "Stay Away") in big, black letters. Ironically, he was already pretty much the coolest kid in high school, so if anything, this sort-of grunge-era posturing just made his myth loom even larger. Anyway, "Insomniac" reminds me of something off of "Incesticide" and I dig it quite a bit...
