Sleep Paralysis Sweetheart

[Verse 1]
You slip in
When the room stops breathing
Pin me down
Like you caught me cheating
Cold hands
On my burning chest
You say
“Baby
You ain’t getting rest”
Eyes wide
But I can’t say nothing
Teeth shine
Like you’re onto something
Every night
You crawl up my spine
Guess I’m yours
Guess you’re mine
[Chorus]
You’re my sleep paralysis sweetheart
My midnight maniac crush
You never text
You just show up
Turn my heartbeat into sludge
You’re my longest
Strongest nightmare
Yeah
My one true toxic friend
This sleep paralysis demon that visits me
Is the longest
Healthiest relationship I’ve ever had (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
All my exes
Left me on “Delivered”
You just hiss
“Miss me?” in a whisper
You don’t ghost
You just sit on my chest
’Til the dawn
Drags you off my bed
We don’t talk
But we share this secret
You take air
Every time I need it
Cupid’s drunk
Shooting blanks at me
But you never
Miss a week
[Chorus]
You’re my sleep paralysis sweetheart
My midnight maniac crush
You never text
You just show up
Turn my heartbeat into sludge
You’re my longest
Strongest nightmare
Yeah
My one true toxic friend
This sleep paralysis demon that visits me
Is the longest
Healthiest relationship I’ve ever had
[Bridge]
[Guitar solo – screaming bends
Divebombs]
You never call me crazy
You just make me freeze
You’re the only one who stays
When I beg you
“Leave”
[Chorus]
You’re my sleep paralysis sweetheart
My midnight maniac crush
You never text
You just show up
Turn my heartbeat into sludge
You’re my longest
Strongest nightmare
‘Til the day they zip that bag
This sleep paralysis demon that visits me
Is the longest
Healthiest relationship I’ve ever had
Yeah
The longest
Healthiest relationship I’ve ever had (hey!)
(Oh, sweetheart)

metal, Sleazy late-80s hair metal anthem, big arena toms and chugging guitars under a swaggering male vocal. Verses stay tight and riff-driven; chorus explodes with stacked gang shouts and soaring harmonies on the title line. Wailing lead guitar weaves around the vocal, with a brief, melodic solo bridge that climbs then dives back into the final hook., sleep
