[Verse 1]
Another sunrise I don't remember earning
Another night spent watching shadows turning
Every ache inside me keeps pulling me awake
Every time I close my eyes they start to recreate
The room is quiet but my mind still screams
Caught somewhere between memories and dreams
Minutes become hours, hours become days
I'm wearing through my soul in a thousand different ways
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't remember what silence sounds like
I don't remember what peace feels like
Every morning steals another piece of me
But somehow I still force myself to breathe
[Chorus]
Sleep won't come...
It only watches me
Waiting in the dark
Where I can't breathe
My body's breaking underneath the weight
Every heartbeat says it's far too late
Every bass drop cracks another piece away
And I forget a little more of yesterday
[Verse 2]
Headache pounding like a hammer in my skull
Every color fading, every feeling dull
Coffee keeps my body moving through the day
But my mind keeps drifting farther... farther away
I walked into a room...
Why?
What was I looking for?
I know there was...
Something...
Someone said my name...
Didn't they?
No...
No one spoke...
I think...
[Pre-Chorus]
Reality is wearing paper thin
The walls are breathing once again
The shadows move before I do
Tell me...
Tell me they're not watching too...
[Chorus]
Sleep won't come...
It only laughs at me
Holding every nightmare
Just out of reach
My body's breaking underneath the weight
Every heartbeat says it's far too late
Every bass drop tears another thought away
I can't remember...
Yesterday...
[Electronic Interlude]
(Static)
...
Wake up...
...
You never slept...
...
Wake up...
...
Wake...
...
up...
[Breakdown]
Don't close your eyes.
They're waiting.
No...
No...
No...
Did you hear—
No...
Someone's standing—
No one's there.
Don't turn around.
DON'T TURN AROUND!
I CAN HEAR THEM BREATHING!
WHY ARE THEY STILL HERE?!
WHY WON'T THEY LET ME SLEEP?!
WHY—
...
Who am I talking to?
...
Hello?
...
Is...
Is someone...
there?
[Final Chorus]
Sleep won't come...
It already won.
The night's inside my blood and in my lungs.
My body's here...
My mind is somewhere else.
I don't...
I don't...
I don't know myself.
Every bass drop shatters what's left inside
Every sunrise feels like I already died
If I close my eyes...
Will I wake again?
Or have I been dreaming...
...this whole time?
[Outro]
3:17...
4:42...
5:58...
The alarm.
The shower.
The drive.
The smile.
"...Good morning."
...
I never went to sleep.
SilentPayload
