Lyrics:
(verse 1)
At night I wait to drift away
Into the realm where shadows stay
But at the gate, my own mind meets me there
I know her face, her steady pace
She sees me and begins the chase
My softest, sweetest dreams she will ensnare
(Chorus 1)
She says “Wake Up! Wake up! Can’t you hear the thunder?
Feel the water rising up? It’s sure to pull you under!
Listen to my voice – who am I, don’t you wonder?
Some call me ‘insomnia’ I call myself ‘The Hunter!’”
(verse 2)
My weary eyes are overweighed
But by my mind I am betrayed
She sounds a warning though there is no threat
Beware the peace that comes with sleep
She hunts it down, it’s hers to keep
Upon my solitude her sight is set
(Verse 3)
The dawn comes with a sinking heart
And from her grip I must depart
She retreats to the darkness out of sight
But in my head she’s waiting there
She’s part of me, I’m well aware
My sleep will be her prey again tonight
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Final Chorus:
She says “Wake Up! Wake up! It’s me who brings the thunder!
Shadowing the one who dreams, I’ll pillage and I’ll plunder
Listen to my voice – won’t you rise from your slumber?
Some call me ‘insomnia’ I call myself ‘The Hunter!’”
Wake up wake up, can’t you hear the thunder?
Some call me insomnia, I call myself the Hunter x2

I've been an insomniac for 30 years. No one understands how I can go 3 nights without sleep and still function normally.

Stephen King is an insomniac- I think it comes with being creative. ❤

Hey Jaime, I started watching and listening but then I began to panic a little, so I’m gonna have to listen in spurts. I like what I heard so far!

Awesome song and has such a nostalgic vibe! It's my 80s happy place in most wonderful way and so catchy. So many songs grow on you but this one hits straight away. I also love the lyrics. There aren't that many songs these days that have poetic and meaningful lyrics that you can sing out loud to and not be embarrassed to do so haha. Fantastic job!

Your voice. Between this song, the ripple effect, and your cover of the edge of seventeen, im convinced you need to be on the radio. Im saving your songs on apple music. Hope you release more. Your voice so soothing
