[Hook – 8 Bars | Haunting & Melodic]
I can’t sleep safe, not even in my dreams,
I done seen too much — even God feel mean.
Heart got locks, and the code ain't clean,
Pain come knockin’ with a voice I seen.
They say time heal, but it never touch me,
I just write what I bleed, ‘til the pen don’t speak.
If love got a cost, then my soul too cheap,
I lay with my sins — and they don’t sleep deep.

[Verse 1 – 16 Bars | Cold Memories + Lyrical Edge]
I been quiet too long, now my echo curse,
Tryna fix what broke before I met my worth.
Grew up in war — I got truth in a hearse,
So I write like a will in a hoodie and thirst.
Told the mirror I’m good, but it flinch when I lie,
I done cried in the whip with my hand on the nine.
Love ain’t loyal, it just choose when to die,
So I trust what’s empty, it don’t ask why.
Had hope in the fridge, right next to the pain,
Mama worked doubles just to keep us in the game.
I ain’t fold, I just bent from the weight of the flame,
Now I move like a ghost with a name full of blame.
I lost friends, lost peace, lost ways to pray,
Now my peace got teeth — it bite when I stay.
So I sleep with a thought and a blade on the tray,
And a soul that shake every time I say “okay.”

I can’t sleep safe, not even in my dreams,
I done seen too much — even God feel mean.
Heart got locks, and the code ain't clean,
Pain come knockin’ with a voice I seen.
They say time heal, but it never touch me,
I just write what I bleed, ‘til the pen don’t speak.
If love got a cost, then my soul too cheap,
I lay with my sins — and they don’t sleep deep.

[Verse 2 – 16 Bars | Deeper Reflection + Pain-Tuned Bars]
I done prayed in the dark with my hands on fire,
Ain’t no peace in the past, just hands in the wire.
My mind run laps when the guilt get tired,
I’m a man made of loss and the truth I admired.
Slept on the floor where my trust gave birth,
Now I don’t shake hands — they feel like a curse.
I forgave too fast and it still got worse,
So I write in silence just to hold my worth.
I seen tears turn black when the soul too numb,
Used to talk to the wind — now the breeze don’t come.
Pain on repeat like a beat I strum,
If I die in my sleep, I just hope I’m done.
Ain’t no rest for a heart that think,
Ain’t no grace when your prayers don’t blink.
So I stare at the dark like it owe me ink,
And I tattoo pain ‘fore the hope could sink.

[Hook – Final Repeat]
I can’t sleep safe, not even in my dreams,
I done seen too much — even God feel mean.
Heart got locks, and the code ain't clean,
Pain come knockin’ with a voice I seen.
They say time heal, but it never touch me,
I just write what I bleed, ‘til the pen don’t speak.
If love got a cost, then my soul too cheap,
I lay with my sins — and they don’t sleep deep.
