Overpass Insomnia (버전 2)

Verse

Sodium light sweeps the ceiling twice a minute

Truck axles counting hours I'm not in

Curtain thin, glass thinner still

Room shakes soft with the weight of the hill

Three a.m. and the numbers climb

Eleven trucks since the last quiet time

Concrete overhead, concrete below

Bed's a shelf in a building that won't let go

Pre-Chorus

Tell me when the traffic breaks

Tell me if the dark comes clean

Tell me why the light still moves

Behind my eyes when I close them clean

Chorus

Overpass insomnia, ceiling won't go still

Overpass insomnia, counting till I'm nil

Headlights cross the wallpaper, gone before they're gone

Overpass insomnia, this is not a dawn

Verse

Four a.m., the same six trucks

Same low rumble, same dry luck

I know the gap between each pair

Nine seconds, then the shudder in the air

Eyes shut tight, the light gets through

Painted on the lids in white and blue

Ceiling's a screen that plays one film

Same sweep, same static, standing still

Pre-Chorus

Tell me when the traffic breaks

Tell me if the dark comes clean

Tell me why the light still moves

Behind my eyes when I close them clean

Chorus

Overpass insomnia, ceiling won't go still

Overpass insomnia, counting till I'm nil

Headlights cross the wallpaper, gone before they're gone

Overpass insomnia, this is not a dawn

Bridge

Turn the pillow

Count to ten

Ten more trucks

Then ten again

Then ten again

Chorus

Overpass insomnia, ceiling won't go still

Overpass insomnia, counting till I'm nil

Headlights cross the wallpaper, gone before they're gone

Overpass insomnia, this is not a dawn
