Skip Rope, Not Change

[DEMO] [NOT MIXED] - [Made in 2019]
An instrumental version of my song "Insomnia".
Adding the lyrics below for people who are interested in trying to get the concept of the song, or to sing on it for fun.
{LYRICS}
<Verse 1>
I never thought I'll be up that late
picturing every thought I hate
passing the night with one eye open
living my life while I'm so broken

Whatever I'll do just doesn't change
the anxious feeling of staying awake
and thinking of tomorrow won't help a bit
when my head is all filled up with grit

(Chorus 1)
Insomnia Strikes, in body, in mind
my eyes rolling back and I just might go blind
and nothing you'll do can crack open this case
My head will never let me out of this cage

<Verse 2>
Well staying up late doesn't hurt me as much
I'm getting resilient to this common touch
Neglecting my focus, my sense, my pride
Just Wrecking it all, My soul just died 

Although I miss blinking and shutting my eyes
it is not so wrong living in a disguise
Not setting the pace is an organized crime
and tears are dropping, no longer a prime

(Chorus 2)
Insomnia Strikes, in mental, in health
Help me, All fails and I'm being enslaved
My body denies and my mind's filled with shame
fighting my wills always ends up the same
playing by the book didn't work so much
you told me it will be over in a clutch
I'll do anything to crack open this case
My head will accept that I'm leaving this place



[Bridge]

I wanna dream of places and light
I wanna think that tomorrow is bright
I wanna Try overcoming my fears
I wanna stop the ringing in my ears
You say that it's easy come-on rest your head
You say I'll feel better, it's simple as that
You say that I'm broken, and a fix will be quick
You say It's all over, and your conscience is clear

(Chorus 3)
Insomnia Strikes, just once, or twice
I'm all shattered down, it no longer feels right
this place's all I know, I'm here just to stay
It all was for nothing, now I'm gonna pay
Insomnia Strikes, Just thrice, or more
guess I was wrong, I can't just pack and go
I stayed for too long and it's all I got left
and Now I can sleep, I'm no longer distressed
