Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro – Broken TV static, reversed piano, faint child humming a lullaby] “If I wake up… do I die?” (The silence answers with a scream.) ⸻ [Verse 1 – Clean vocals, distant and eerie] My bones are glass, and they rattle with dread I see my breath—but I think I’m dead The sky outside is wrong again No moon, no stars—just paper skin The hallway stretches when I move Every door leads back to this room And I swear the walls are breathing deep Every second I’m awake, I lose more sleep ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – Melodic with background whispers] I thought I could control the dream But it’s the dream that swallowed me ⸻ [Chorus – Screamed and clean vocal layers collide] I’m trapped in glass veins—fractured and cold Bleeding through sleep that never grows old I claw at the dark but it claws back harder Whispers in the walls say I’m the martyr Every mirror is a scream with teeth And I can’t tell what’s underneath I’m drowning in a place with no name— Held together by fear and flame ⸻ [Verse 2 – Spoken-word cadence into rising melody] Someone else is in my skin Moves my lips, pulls strings within Wrote my name on the ceiling in ash Then smiled wide and let it crash I dream in static, cough in blood The floor is wet with memories’ flood They told me sleep would set me free— But this dream won’t bury me ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – More desperate tone, doubled vocals] Wake me up—rip me out! But my body’s locked in doubt… ⸻ [Chorus – Repeat with more intensity, screams layered in front] I’m trapped in glass veins—fractured and cold Bleeding through sleep that never grows old I claw at the dark but it claws back harder Whispers in the walls say I’m the martyr Every mirror is a scream with teeth And I can’t tell what’s underneath I’m drowning in a place with no name— Held together by fear and flame ⸻ [Breakdown – Brutal tempo shift, guttural screams] SLEEP IS THE CURSE! WAKE IS A LIE! TEAR OFF MY FACE JUST TO SEE WHAT’S INSIDE! I AM THE NIGHTMARE YOU TRIED TO FORGET— THE SLEEPWALKER’S BODY IS MINE NOW—YOU’RE NEXT! ⸻ [Bridge – Female vocals, soft and chilling, echoing like a ghost] Lay down, love… don’t resist You were never made for this Close your eyes, and drift below… The dark remembers all you know… ⸻ [Final Chorus – Slow, cinematic, haunting finish] I’m trapped in glass veins—hollow and thin Carved from the sins I carry within Can’t scream, can’t run, can’t break free The dream owns more of me than me I forgot how to breathe, how to feel, how to pray But I still hear it whisper—you’ll never get away This isn’t a nightmare—it’s where I begin Eyes wide shut… and the dark crawling in.
