Prompt / Lyrics
🔹 [INTRO – Low cello hum + faint heartbeat kick] (Moody Loe, calm but heavy) “You can close your eyes… but the pain stay woke.” ⸻ 🔹 [HOOK – Low tone, slow delivery, layered harmonies] Scars don’t sleep, they just dream with me I try to heal but they bleed in the sheets I been fightin’ shadows only I can see Scars don’t sleep… and they don’t set me free Every night they whisper what I can’t forget Every touch feel like a past regret I close my eyes, but the war still deep ‘Cause scars don’t sleep… and neither do I ⸻ 🔹 [VERSE 1 – Storytelling with space between lines] I got bullet holes in my trust, stitched with lies Smiles on my face, but they cover cries I love like I’m runnin’ from a crime scene still Can’t tell the difference between love and kill I wake up in sweat from a memory burn Wounds don’t close, they just take new turns You see skin, I see battles beneath You see calm, I feel war in the sheets I been sleepin’ next to ghosts and hope Every night’s a fight just to cope Dreams play back every time I slip My scars grab hold and they never quit ⸻ 🔹 [HOOK – Repeat with higher harmony and falsetto adlibs] Scars don’t sleep, they just dream with me I try to heal but they bleed in the sheets I been fightin’ shadows only I can see Scars don’t sleep… and they don’t set me free Every night they whisper what I can’t forget Every touch feel like a past regret I close my eyes, but the war still deep ‘Cause scars don’t sleep… and neither do I ⸻ 🔹 [VERSE 2 – Melodic build with emotional push] I see her face every time I blink Hear her voice every time I drink They told me “time gon’ heal that pain” But time just taught me how to hide my shame You can’t cover up a cut that’s inside Can’t kill a memory that never died I been prayin’ but my hands too cold I been sinnin’ just to feel less old Every scar is a story I don’t wanna tell So I let ‘em talk when I’m locked in my shell Even sleep ain’t safe from the things I keep ‘Cause scars don’t sleep — and I can’t breathe deep ⸻ 🔹 [BRIDGE – Minimal beat, reverb-heavy strings] Lay me down, but don’t turn the light My past love wounds still fight at night Don’t kiss my lips if you can’t kiss my grief ‘Cause love ain’t love if it don’t bring relief ⸻ 🔹 [FINAL HOOK – Bigger harmonies, strings swelling] Scars don’t sleep, they just dream with me I try to heal but they bleed in the sheets I been fightin’ shadows only I can see Scars don’t sleep… and they don’t set me free Every night they whisper what I can’t forget Every touch feel like a past regret I close my eyes, but the war still deep ‘Cause scars don’t sleep… and neither do I ⸻ 🔹 [OUTRO – Heartbeat fades into silence] (Moody Loe, whisper) “Even in peace… they still move.”
