[Verse 1] Sheets twisted up Jaw locked till it aches Stare at the ceiling Like it’s keeping score Clock blinks again Same red accusation Every quiet second Turns into a war [Pre-Chorus] I try to breathe in But the thoughts breathe first They know every weak spot Every word that hurts [Chorus] I can’t sleep ’Cause my head keeps screaming Every scar starts Spelling out a curse I’m wide awake In a maze of meanings Digging through the past For something worse If silence is a weapon Then I’m bleeding in my bed I can’t sleep Can’t shut off the things you said [Verse 2] Replay Rewind Every single misstep Mouth full of apologies I never got to say Hands on my face Like I’m trying to erase it But the darker it gets The louder they play [Pre-Chorus] I count my regrets Till the numbers snap All the “should’ve said somethings” Pile in my lap [Chorus] I can’t sleep ’Cause my head keeps screaming Every scar starts Spelling out a curse I’m wide awake In a maze of meanings Digging through the past For something worse If silence is a weapon Then I’m bleeding in my bed I can’t sleep Can’t shut off the things you said [Bridge] [ guitars drop to clean Vocal almost spoken ] Tell me Is this just how it is now? Every night a trial Every breath a doubt [full band slams in] These shadows know my given name (my name) They circle like they own this place If peace is just a distant flame Then let it burn right through my face (hey!) [Chorus] I can’t sleep ’Cause my head keeps screaming Every scar starts Spelling out a curse I’m wide awake In a maze of meanings Digging through the past For something worse If silence is a weapon Then I’m bleeding in my bed I can’t sleep Can’t shut off the things you said [Outro] Clock blinks 3 Then 4 Then 5 I’m still here But I don’t feel alive

Modern metalcore with dropped-tuning riffs, sharp start-stop chugs, and explosive double-kick. Verses sit in a tense, half-whisper/half-scream pocket, bass grinding under eerie clean guitars. Choruses open with soaring melodic male vocals over big halftime drums and open chords, layered screams on key phrases. Brief atmospheric break before final chorus, guitars bloom into a massive, sustaining wall at the end., sleep, metalcore
