Too Dark To Sleep

⚠️ Many of my songs explore heavy topics such as mental health struggles, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, and experiences of abuse. Please listen with care and take breaks if you need to. ❤️ Song I made with zona.ai app. original lyrics. All my songs written are copyright ©️ protected Hope you enjoy :) Intro: "don’t close… don’t sleep… stay awake" Verse 1 Eyes wide open, shadows on the wall Every creak and whisper makes my heart stall The clock keeps ticking but I can’t rest Night’s heavy weight pressing on my chest Breathing shallow, I hear my own fears Memories like ghosts whisper in my ears I try to close them out, try to hide But the dark won’t let me slide (“stay awake…”) Pre-Chorus I’m staring at the ceiling, can’t escape The night is a cage and I feel its weight Chorus Too scared to sleep, too loud in my head Running from monsters that live in my bed Eyes wide open, heart’s racing fast How long will this terror last? Too scared to sleep, too heavy to fight Shadows crawling in the dead of night I scream in silence, but no one hears Too scared to sleep, drowning in my fears (“don’t close… don’t close…”) Verse 2 Every corner hides something I can’t see Breathless and trapped, can’t set my mind free The sheets feel like chains, the dark feels alive I’m barely holding on just to survive The past creeps in, I can’t shake it away Faces and voices haunting me today I reach for the light, but it’s fading fast Will this night ever pass? (“awake… awake…”) Pre-Chorus 2 The walls are moving, or is it me? My own reflection’s staring back at me Chorus Too scared to sleep, too loud in my head Running from monsters that live in my bed Eyes wide open, heart’s racing fast How long will this terror last? Too scared to sleep, too heavy to fight Shadows crawling in the dead of night I scream in silence, but no one hears Too scared to sleep, drowning in my fears Bridge I just want to close my eyes, just one night But the dark keeps pulling, I can’t fight Heartbeat pounding like a warning drum How do I survive what’s to come? (“stay awake… don’t fall…”) Chorus Too scared to sleep, too loud in my head Running from monsters that live in my bed Eyes wide open, heart’s racing fast The night is endless, will I last? Too scared to sleep, too heavy to fight Shadows crawling in the dead of night I scream in silence, but no one hears Too scared to sleep, drowning in my fears (“don’t close… stay awake… don’t sleep…”)
