NO REST

[Intro — low / drained] You never stop… Not even for a second [Verse 1] You’ve been there since that night Ever since it started You didn’t leave You stayed In every quiet moment In every empty space You slip back in Like you never left [Fragment] No silence— …just you [Verse 2] I try to close my eyes But it follows me there Like sleep isn’t mine anymore Like I don’t get to leave Every time I drift You pull me back Before I disappear Into anything else [Pre-Chorus — tension] No break No end Just you Again [Chorus — exhausted] You don’t leave You don’t fade You stay inside Every place I can’t rest I can’t sleep You’re always there Inside me I don’t get silence I don’t get space You took it all You took my place [Post-Chorus] In my thoughts In my breath In every second That’s left [Verse 3] Even when I stay still Even when I don’t move You’re still there Waiting Like you don’t need anything Like you just exist And I can’t escape it No matter what I do [Fragment] (It doesn’t stop) (It doesn’t stop) [Build] I don’t fight it anymore I don’t know how [Chorus — breaking] You don’t leave You don’t break You stay here Wide awake I can’t shut it off I can’t pretend You’re there again And again I don’t get rest I don’t get peace You’re in my head You never leave [Bridge — fragile / cracked] I don’t remember What quiet feels like [Break] I close my eyes— …and you’re still there [Final Build] No escape [Final Chorus] You don’t leave You never did You stayed here Ever since I can’t sleep I can’t breathe Without you Underneath I don’t get rest I don’t get night You turned it into Endless time [Outro — fading / empty] You’re still here… …and I’m still awake
