1 Eye Closed 😜

[Verse 1] One bed breathes steady in the dark The other never fully rests One dream runs loud and unremembered The other waits for what comes next Ceiling close, the air stays listening Every sound learns how to crawl Night keeps one child safely drifting Keeps the other pinned and small [Instrumental direction: fingerpicked acoustic guitar, open chords with slight detune on the low E—let the strings ring long, almost like breathing. No percussion yet. A faint, distant room tone (creaking floorboard sample or reversed breath) under the last two lines, low enough to feel like the house is exhaling.] [Pre-Chorus] Eyes stay open, counting seconds Heart beats faster than the clock Peace belongs to someone else Silence never fully locks [Instrumental direction: add a single, slow electric guitar line—clean, no reverb wash—doubling the vocal melody half a beat late, like an echo that’s late to the party. Keep it quiet; the heart is the only drum.] [Chorus] Lonely never gets old here Sleep comes thin and never deep One voice screams through borrowed dreams One stays awake so both can sleep Dark doesn’t fade by morning light Fear doesn’t clock out with the sun Some nights don’t end when daylight comes Some nights just keep going on [Pre-Chorus] No warning bell, no pattern shown No way to know what wakes the dark Sleep turns into short retreats Between the noise and the spark [Instrumental direction: same delayed electric line as before, but now add a subtle tremolo arm dip on the last chord—make it waver like fear settling in the chest.] [Chorus] Lonely never gets old here Rest is always incomplete One dream burns itself to nothing One keeps watch from underneath Dark doesn’t fade by morning light Fear doesn’t weaken over time Some nights don’t teach you how to heal They just teach how to survive [Instrumental direction: bass gets a touch more present. Add a single, sparse piano or Rhodes hit on the downbeats—cold, detached, like rain on a tin roof. Vocals double up slightly thicker here, but still intimate—no belting.] [Bridge] One learns how to breathe without sound One learns how to hear everything Night remembers who stays ready Night forgets who doesn’t wake No villain named, no lesson learned No meaning waiting to be found Just a room that never sleeps at once Just fear making its rounds [themed guitar and drum solos blend ] [ loud restrained Chorus] Lonely never gets old here Silence always feels too thin One sleeps through the breaking world One listens for it to begin Dark doesn’t end, it only pauses Just long enough to start again Some nights don’t finish when they’re over They just reset where they began [epic Outro] One eye closed One eye open The room keeps breathing The night keeps hoping [guitar and drum solo followed by bass theme jam off] [bass]
