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…”)
Beexii
