[Verse 1] Moonlight glowing on my skin, Empty streets, the thoughts rush in. I watch the night turn into day, And tell myself it's best this way. They say, “rest your weary eyes,” But I stay awake and improvise. [Pre-Chorus] [soft, confessional tone] You might say it’s killing me, But in the night, I’m finally free. [Chorus] [anthemic, layered vocals] I don’t sleep, I never did, If it kills me, that’s the price I bid. The daylight can’t control the path I choose, I’ll burn these nights before I lose. [Verse 2] [brighter instrumentation, steady drive] Still I’m running on coffee drip, Heartbeat racing, can’t lose grip. Dreams don’t wait till I close my eyes, They come alive in the sleepless nights. [Pre-Chorus] [short pause, tension builds] I know I’m breaking piece by piece, But in the quiet I find release. [Chorus] [drums hit harder, harmonies widen] I don’t sleep, I never did, If it kills me, that’s the price I bid. The daylight can’t control the path I choose, I’ll burn these nights before I lose. [Bridge] [spoken / half-sung, minimal backing, echo effect] I know it’s poison, but I drink it down, If time’s the master, I still wear the crown. One day it wins, I’ll close my eyes, But is this life, or just staying alive? [Final Chorus] [full energy, stacked vocals, wide mix] I don’t sleep, I never did, If it kills me, that’s the price I bid. The daylight can’t control the path I choose, I’ll burn these nights before I lose. [Outro] [fade out, single vocal line] I don’t sleep… I never did. I never did.
