[Intro – Broken TV static, reversed piano, faint child humming a lullaby]
“If I wake up… do I die?”
(The silence answers with a scream.)
⸻
[Verse 1 – Clean vocals, distant and eerie]
My bones are glass, and they rattle with dread
I see my breath—but I think I’m dead
The sky outside is wrong again
No moon, no stars—just paper skin
The hallway stretches when I move
Every door leads back to this room
And I swear the walls are breathing deep
Every second I’m awake, I lose more sleep
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Melodic with background whispers]
I thought I could control the dream
But it’s the dream that swallowed me
⸻
[Chorus – Screamed and clean vocal layers collide]
I’m trapped in glass veins—fractured and cold
Bleeding through sleep that never grows old
I claw at the dark but it claws back harder
Whispers in the walls say I’m the martyr
Every mirror is a scream with teeth
And I can’t tell what’s underneath
I’m drowning in a place with no name—
Held together by fear and flame
⸻
[Verse 2 – Spoken-word cadence into rising melody]
Someone else is in my skin
Moves my lips, pulls strings within
Wrote my name on the ceiling in ash
Then smiled wide and let it crash
I dream in static, cough in blood
The floor is wet with memories’ flood
They told me sleep would set me free—
But this dream won’t bury me
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – More desperate tone, doubled vocals]
Wake me up—rip me out!
But my body’s locked in doubt…
⸻
[Chorus – Repeat with more intensity, screams layered in front]
I’m trapped in glass veins—fractured and cold
Bleeding through sleep that never grows old
I claw at the dark but it claws back harder
Whispers in the walls say I’m the martyr
Every mirror is a scream with teeth
And I can’t tell what’s underneath
I’m drowning in a place with no name—
Held together by fear and flame
⸻
[Breakdown – Brutal tempo shift, guttural screams]
SLEEP IS THE CURSE!
WAKE IS A LIE!
TEAR OFF MY FACE JUST TO SEE WHAT’S INSIDE!
I AM THE NIGHTMARE YOU TRIED TO FORGET—
THE SLEEPWALKER’S BODY IS MINE NOW—YOU’RE NEXT!
⸻
[Bridge – Female vocals, soft and chilling, echoing like a ghost]
Lay down, love… don’t resist
You were never made for this
Close your eyes, and drift below…
The dark remembers all you know…
⸻
[Final Chorus – Slow, cinematic, haunting finish]
I’m trapped in glass veins—hollow and thin
Carved from the sins I carry within
Can’t scream, can’t run, can’t break free
The dream owns more of me than me
I forgot how to breathe, how to feel, how to pray
But I still hear it whisper—you’ll never get away
This isn’t a nightmare—it’s where I begin
Eyes wide shut… and the dark crawling in.
