Insomnia Demon

[Verse 1]
2 a.m
And the ceiling grins
Shadows crawl
Underneath my skin
Every thought
Like a needle drip
You crawl in my head
With a cracked-tooth grin
[Pre-Chorus]
You say
"Let me write your fate"
Scratch my name
On the inside of my brain
Every doubt
You twist it into shape
Till I can't tell the fear
From the faith
[Chorus]
Insomnia demon
Haunting every breath I breathe in
You take my mind
And you drag it through the dark
You plant your poison
Deep inside my thinking
You turn my heartbeat
Into something sharp
Insomnia demon
You don't even have to speak
To tear me apart
[Verse 2]
You sit
On the edge of my bed
Feed me pictures
Of everything I dread
"You’ll fail
You’ll fall
You’ll fade"
You tattoo those lies
Where the truth should stay
[Pre-Chorus]
You say
"Give up
Give in"
And I almost let you win
But there's a spark
Underneath my ribs
A tiny
Shaking
Silent wish
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] I hear you
Pacing down the hall
[whispered vocals] "Open up
Open up"
Like a curtain call
[growled vocals] But this time
I don’t play your part
I hold my breath
While you tear at the dark
[crescendo]
I am not your canvas
Not your cage to keep
If you want my soul
You'll have to fight my sleep
[Chorus]

Dark piano rock ballad with male vocals, mid-tempo swing. Sparse, reverb-heavy piano and distant tom hits in the verses, bass creeping in on the pre-chorus. Chorus slams with distorted guitars, stacked gang vocals, and tight drums, then drops back to exposed keys. Vocals go from half-whisper to full scream, with glitchy delay throws on key words., slow, deep
