[Intro | synth drone, soft and drifting, a clean guitar arpeggio, then a drum beat that’s barely a whisper—brushes on snare, kick like a slow pulse. Mira’s synth swells like a lullaby trying to be kind.] [Verse 1 – quiet, frayed, close-mic] I’ve been lying here for hours Counting cracks in the ceiling like they’re gonna save me My brain won’t shut the fuck up It’s just a loop of every stupid thing I said today You’d think being this tired would be enough But no— my body’s a traitor Wired and heavy at the same time Like a doll with its strings cut but still fucking moving [Pre-Chorus – voice straining to stay quiet] I need a dreamy angel Someone to come knock me out ‘Cause my own head’s a war zone And I can’t find the off switch [Chorus with backing vocals – Mira soft, Ess rough] Dreamy angel — come pull me under (Pull me under) I’m so tired I could scream but I can’t even breathe (Can’t breathe) Dreamy angel — I need the quiet (Need the quiet) The kind that doesn’t ask me to be anything but asleep (Just asleep) Fuck, I just wanna be asleep [Verse 2 – more agitated, whispers turning to grit] I tried the tea, I tried the counting I tried pretending I was floating on a cloud But all I get is the greatest hits Of every embarrassing moment in my whole damn life My pillow’s too hot, my legs won’t stop Twitching like they’re trying to run away from me I’d cry if I had the energy But I’m too busy being furious at my own eyelids [Pre-Chorus – building] I need a dreamy angel Someone to hold my head under ‘Cause I’ve been awake for what feels like A hundred fucking years [Chorus with backing vocals – Mira soft, Ess rough] Dreamy angel — come pull me under (Pull me under) I’m so tired I could scream but I can’t even breathe (Can’t breathe) Dreamy angel — I need the quiet (Need the quiet) The kind that doesn’t ask me to be anything but asleep (Just asleep) Fuck, I just wanna be asleep [Bridge – drums drop out entirely, just synth and guitar, voice raw and cracking] I’m not asking for forever Just a few hours where I don’t have to be me Where my brain stops running the highlight reel Of every mistake I ever made I’d sell my soul for a dream right now Something weird, something stupid Just— anything that isn’t this room And the sound of my own heartbeat Mocking me [Final Chorus with backing vocals – harmonies thicken, full band lift, voice breaking] Dreamy angel — please pull me under (Pull me under, pull me under) I’m so tired I could scream and I think I’m gonna break (Gonna break) Dreamy angel — I need the quiet (Need the quiet, give me quiet) The kind that doesn’t ask me to be anything but asleep (Just asleep, just fucking asleep) Dreamy angel — dreamy angel (Dreamy angel) Just let me sleep Let me sleep Let me fucking sleep [Outro | synth holds a single note, guitar feedback fading, drum kick slows to nothing, close-mic whisper, exhausted] Dreamy angel… Where are you? Shit. [fade to silence.]
