Flash on the left, flash on the right, I don't sleep
Day into night into day, the city won't keep
Time for me anymore, it just blurs and it burns
Strobe in my eyelids even when the camera turns
I'm wired to the current, I'm plugged to the light
Every flash a heartbeat, every night a flight
I stopped knowing morning from the middle of the show
Strobe insomnia, and I never wanna slow

Strobe insomnia, the flashes never end
Strobe insomnia, the light's my only friend
Faster, faster, till the day and night collide
Strobe insomnia, take me for the ride
Strobe insomnia, I'm awake, I'm alive

They ask if I'm tired, but tired's not the word
I'm electric, I'm buzzing, I'm a signal, not a girl
The flashes feed the fire and the fire feeds the show
I run on the wattage that the cameras throw
Sleep is for the people who aren't living in the light
I traded all my darkness for a permanent white
It should feel like drowning but it feels like a high
Strobe insomnia, and I never ask why

Strobe insomnia, the flashes never end
Strobe insomnia, the light's my only friend
Faster, faster, till the day and night collide
Strobe insomnia, take me for the ride
Strobe insomnia, I'm awake, I'm alive
