Nobody​/​Somebody

from Six Songs from Insomnia by shinkawasaki

lyrics

Morning, wasting hours
Crawling between the sheets
And scrolling thru people’s random thoughts
Life can be so boring
All of us just conforming
Let’s get that coffee going
Before the day comes to naught

It’s hard to stay awake, i just need a break
From all the noise in my head
The things that people did or said
Is anybody sane? Am I alone in feeling pain?

I don't have to tell nobody
I’ve been hurting all my life
I just have to let somebody
Hold my shaking hands sometimes
I don’t have to have nobody
Tell me where I’m wrong or right
I just have to find somebody
That can help me sleep at night

Afternoon brings the ennui
Clouds hide the moon above me, a buoy
I know that the world is trying to fool me
As long as it twirls we don't care, do we?

Say a prayer for the helpless
Pay the fine for your carelessness
We never wanna change our ways, do we?
Sometimes the rage oddly soothes me
Sometimes this cage awfully suits me

I don't have to tell nobody
I’ve been hurting all my life
I just have to let somebody
Hold my shaking hands sometimes
I don’t have to have nobody
Tell me where I’m wrong or right
I just have to find somebody
That can help me sleep at night

I’ve been hurting all my life
Hold my shaking hands sometimes
Who’s to say if I’m wrong or right
I just want to sleep at night
