[suspenseful rock intro then hard hitting beat] [Verse] Night wraps around like a heavy chain Shadows whisper my name again I count the cracks in the ceiling above No nightmares tonight devoid of love [Prechorus] The clock blinks red a silent scream I’m wide awake inside this dream [Chorus] I never close my eyes I never let it in don't dare relax, the dark can't win I never close my eyes not tonight not again I’ll chase the sun till the bitter end [Verse 2] She thinks I sleep she doesn’t know I fake the peace I put on the show But the monsters wait they know my face So I light the night leave no empty space [Prechorus] The clock blinks red a silent scream I’m wide awake inside this dream [Chorus] I never close my eyes I never let it in don't dare relax, the dark can't win I never close my eyes not tonight not again I’ll chase the sun till the bitter end [guitar and keyboard interlude] [Verse 3] Daylight breaks but sleep stays away Fueled by coffee, I make my way Tasks pile high, no time to rest I push on through, I give my best [Prechorus] The clock blinks red a silent scream I’m wide awake inside this dream [Chorus] I never close my eyes I never let it in don't dare relax, the dark can't win I never close my eyes not tonight not again I’ll chase the sun till the bitter end [Verse 4] So many years and I've kept this up. I'm so tired, I'm running on luck Every dawn feels like the night before Exhaustion whispers "there's still one more" [Outro] The time has come to lay it down I'm going to Sleep, I'm done running now I'll close my eyes, I'm drawing it in. relax and don't let the darkness win Close my eyes and take the fight into sleep Facing shadows now, no secrets to keep
