Lyrics

[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
