Lyrics:
It’s the same, each and every night
Glare at my screen with two big bloodshot eyes
I’m stuck self torturing
My meds are failing me
Internal clock in smithereens
Can’t fix this, I’m hopeless
My eyes are stapled opened wide
As I lay down on my side
I am bouncing off these walls
Notice my hands begin to twitch
Unprovoked assaulting of my conscious wit
Me and the TV are enemies
Sickening static surrounds my mind
I’m losing time and realizing that
After days of thought
I’m stuck self torturing
My meds are failing me
Internal clock in smithereens
Can’t fix this, I’m hopeless
My eyes are stapled opened wide
As I lay down on my side
I am bouncing off these walls
As I focus on the clock, try to feel but I can not
I should strap myself in bed
I guess I’ll sleep when I am dead
Talk to myself,
Lie in the darkness so content
As the Sun begins to rise
I can barely shut my eyes
This crazed delirious mess
Laughing at everything I see
My sanity is spent
Just tell me where my time went
I’m losing it
Attention:
All insomniacs please raise your right hand
And kindly repeat after me
I guess I’ll sleep when I am dead
Cause I’m stuck self torturing
My meds are failing me
Internal clock in smithereens
Can’t fix this, I’m hopeless
My eyes are stapled oṗened wide
As I lay down on my side
I am bouncing off these walls
As I focus on the clock, try to feel but I can not
I should strap myself in bed
I guess I’ll sleep when I am dead
I guess I’ll sleep when I am

I love how all the while he's singing, he sounds as if he's trying to keep it together, but is slowly slipping into madness. Especially in the beginning, when his voice tremors and begins to grow louder and more aggressive.

Holy fuck grow up edgelords. You're not "insane". You're just trying to be different by acting like you have a MENTAL DISORDER.
I've heard Kills the Lights awhile ago and I'm disappointed that I didn't look at any of there other videos. So happy that I listened to the Talk Dirty cover today or I wouldn't have listened to this x.x
I was diagnosed with severe clinical insomnia in 2008 as well as a few other mental health issues later in in 2011. I was able to find songs that spoke to my other mental illnesses but I have found it hard to find ones for my insomnia. I just found this song and it not only speaks to my insomnia but screams to it. I have listened to a few Set It Off songs over the years but I absolutely love this one.
SO MANY FEELS I'M FLAILING I THINK I JUST HIT MY HEAD BUT IT'S OKAY BECAUSE I'M LISTENING TO THIS SONG
When it says "my eyes are stapled open wide" it reminds me of Ryuzaki (A.K.A. El) from Death Note the anime

Remember Cody's youtube cover videos from his dorm room? He went from that to this in just years. Progress, change, and patience. They will get you anywhere you need. Congratulations to the whole band for getting this far. I wish you the best of luck and hopefully this will be your year. (:

The lead singer should do music theater. So much feeling, emotion, and he's a tenor!
When you play your playlist because you think it might help you fall asleep and then this comes on
"As the sun begins to rise I can barely shut my eyes" Maybe its because they're stapled open?

"I'll Sleep When I'm Dead" Lyrics are very great. Thank you for a wonderful video . thanks. ある意味、意識を失う眠りは一種の仮の死の体験。 明日も生きることを当たり前と信じるから怖くない。 しかし眠りは死の儀式を体験できる身近な習慣。 眠ることは・・ 死への仮の体験により生という現実体験を見つめ返す充実の生命復活の儀式か? それとも絶望に生きる闇の習慣性か? 死ぬまで人は眠れない、、。 人生とは自分に対する鍛えの戦い。 イビキがひどくてすみまてん><ノ

I love how this song just gets progressively more intense as if he's going insane
Insomnia actually sucks, its painful to try to fall asleep and i cant because my head wont shut up about everything, i try to relax, get my mind off of everything, but i end up staring at my ceiling and getting aggravated at myself for not being able to sleep, i try to take sleep pills for it and it never works anymore, and its so exhausting to get up in the morning out of bed because i may have only gotten one hour of sleep or none, alot of people end up making fun of insomnia, its no joke, it really REALLY sucks.
when you are trying to past the final level of a game but you have only one life in it
this is becoming one of my favorite bands, please keep continueing the road ur on this is great

The lyrical content of this song is probably the best song you've ever written. The composing is fantastic, though less exciting than what you've written before. But I was blown away and I can't wait for a new CD.
when I hear this I think of tici Toby and Jeff

A bit creepy, but amazing! :D
me during quarantine be like: (p.s i don't have insomnia just saying ;w;)
going to see them next week can't wait!
Still one of the most relatable songs out there; this whole album is absolute peak
I assume it's a good thing that I haven't had a single dream or nightmare (at least not that I've woken up and remembered having) since I was 12. I doubt I have insomnia but I do struggle pretty badly with at least the falling asleep part, it can take upwards to 4 hours laying in the dark to actually fall asleep but if given the opportunity I'll still sleep 8 or so hours afterwards.
I'm not even an insomniac but this hits so damn hard
ugh. so perfect.
this song always makes me smile
