Don’t Fall Asleep

Verse 1
Streetlights flicker, one… two…
Every shadow’s watching you.
Clock won’t move, the night won’t bend,
Close your eyes — that’s where I end.

Burned in dreams, born from fear,
A whispered laugh inside your ear.
You run in circles, breath goes thin,
The nightmare’s where I pull you in.

Pre-Chorus
You think you’re safe when you’re awake,
But sleep’s the rule you can’t escape.
Count the scars, feel the heat,
Every heartbeat skips a beat.

Chorus
Don’t fall asleep, don’t close your eyes,
I’m waiting where the daylight dies.
In your head, behind your screams,
I’m the king of broken dreams.
Run if you want, it’s all the same,
I know your face, I know your name.
Don’t fall asleep — it’s too late now,
Welcome to my haunted ground.

Verse 2
Nursery rhymes in minor keys,
Twisted laughs from memories.
Boiler rooms and dripping steel,
Nothing here is ever real.

Guilt and fear keep me alive,
Every doubt helps me survive.
You can’t wake from what you are,
Every dream just leaves a scar.

Pre-Chorus
Pills won’t save you, lights won’t stay,
Sleep finds cracks in every day.
When the real world fades away,
That’s the moment that I play.

Chorus
Don’t fall asleep, don’t close your eyes,
I’m waiting where the daylight dies.
In your head, behind your screams,
I’m the king of broken dreams.
Run if you want, it’s all the same,
I know your face, I know your name.
Don’t fall asleep — it’s too late now,
Welcome to my haunted ground.

Bridge
I’m not under your bed tonight,
I’m in the fear you try to fight.
Every thought you push away
Builds the world where I will stay.

Final Chorus
Don’t fall asleep, there’s no escape,
Dreams are doors you can’t reshape.
I’m the whisper, I’m the flame,
Every nightmare speaks my name.
When you wake, you’ll still feel me,
Some scars don’t let you free.
Don’t fall asleep — remember this truth:
I was born inside of you.
