Too Dark To Sleep

Intro:

"don’t close… don’t sleep… stay awake"

Verse 1

Eyes wide open, shadows on the wall

Every creak and whisper makes my heart stall

The clock keeps ticking but I can’t rest

Night’s heavy weight pressing on my chest

Breathing shallow, I hear my own fears

Memories like ghosts whisper in my ears

I try to close them out, try to hide

But the dark won’t let me slide

(“stay awake…”)

Pre-Chorus

I’m staring at the ceiling, can’t escape

The night is a cage and I feel its weight

Chorus

Too scared to sleep, too loud in my head

Running from monsters that live in my bed

Eyes wide open, heart’s racing fast

How long will this terror last?

Too scared to sleep, too heavy to fight

Shadows crawling in the dead of night

I scream in silence, but no one hears

Too scared to sleep, drowning in my fears

(“don’t close… don’t close…”)

Verse 2

Every corner hides something I can’t see

Breathless and trapped, can’t set my mind free

The sheets feel like chains, the dark feels alive

I’m barely holding on just to survive

The past creeps in, I can’t shake it away

Faces and voices haunting me today

I reach for the light, but it’s fading fast

Will this night ever pass?

(“awake… awake…”)

Pre-Chorus 2

The walls are moving, or is it me?

My own reflection’s staring back at me

Chorus

Too scared to sleep, too loud in my head

Running from monsters that live in my bed

Eyes wide open, heart’s racing fast

How long will this terror last?

Too scared to sleep, too heavy to fight

Shadows crawling in the dead of night

I scream in silence, but no one hears

Too scared to sleep, drowning in my fears

Bridge

I just want to close my eyes, just one night

But the dark keeps pulling, I can’t fight

Heartbeat pounding like a warning drum

How do I survive what’s to come?

(“stay awake… don’t fall…”)

Chorus

Too scared to sleep, too loud in my head

Running from monsters that live in my bed

Eyes wide open, heart’s racing fast

The night is endless, will I last?

Too scared to sleep, too heavy to fight

Shadows crawling in the dead of night

I scream in silence, but no one hears

Too scared to sleep, drowning in my fears

(“don’t close… stay awake… don’t sleep…”)
