[Intro — filtered vocals, low-pass, vinyl crackle] (whispers) Yeah… yeah… No sleep… no peace… (static) Mind runnin’ marathons in a padded room… [Hook — melodic, airy but tense] I don’t sleep, I just dream with my eyes open (eyes open) Reality crackin’, I can hear what the sky’s spoken (sky’s spoken) Wide awake, but I’m driftin’ in the deep end (deep end) Genius or I’m losin’ it—depends what you believe in (believe in) I don’t sleep, I just dream with my eyes open (eyes open) Time slippin’, every second feelin’ slow motion (slow motion) Smilin’ at the chaos, yeah I’m toe-to-toein’ (toe-to-toein’) With the reaper or a revelation—I don’t know which road I’m on then [Verse 1 — steady boom bap/trap hybrid, tight cadence] Brain buzzin’ like a wiretap, tapped into the twilight Thoughts orbitin’ my cortex, solar flare hindsight I been starin’ at the ceiling, it been starin’ back Like it know I’m ’bout to snap or maybe map where the stars is at Clock tick louder when your conscience got a megaphone Second hand judgin’ every second I ain’t left alone Shadow boxin’ with reflections in the dresser chrome My reflection talkin’ reckless like it never known If I blink, I might miss it—epiphany in pixels Every whisper got a pistol, every symbol feel official I decode the air, paranoia or a prophet? Every dot connectin’—but is it logic or a logic glitch deposit? Coffee got me jittery, but clarity electric I can feel the future breathin’—heavy, unapologetic Words drip kinetic, every sentence like a weapon I ain’t slept in days but I could outthink every legend (talk to ‘em) [Pre-Hook — rising tension, layered vocals] Wide awake… but I’m fallin’ sideways Mind playin’ chess with my own migraines Truth bend… when the night don’t end Am I God-sent… or a loose thread? [Hook — fuller, harmonies added] I don’t sleep, I just dream with my eyes open (eyes open) Reality crackin’, I can hear what the sky’s spoken (sky’s spoken) Wide awake, but I’m driftin’ in the deep end (deep end) Genius or I’m losin’ it—depends what you believe in (believe in) I don’t sleep, I just dream with my eyes open (eyes open) Time slippin’, every second feelin’ slow motion (slow motion) Smilin’ at the chaos, yeah I’m toe-to-toein’ (toe-to-toein’) With the reaper or a revelation—I don’t know which road I’m on then [Verse 2 — more aggressive, layered doubles] Hallucinate the truth or hallucinate illusion? Either way I’m seein’ through the veils of the confusion Pen bleed insomnia, ink got anemia Lines so sick they belong in a fever dream encyclopedia Walkin’ on the edge where the logic fracture Where a genius overlaps with a psycho’s capture Mind like a labyrinth, minotaur of doubt Every route lead me deeper, never leadin’ me out But it’s beautiful—colors in the darkness vivid Every fear got a face and I can’t unlive it I’m amused by the terror, like a joke with a blade Laughin’ while I juggle every choice I never made Heartbeat sync with the static in the night breeze I could hear the grass grow, I could hear the light breathe Tell me is it madness if it’s makin’ sense? Or enlightenment just paranoia with a better lens? (answer that) [Bridge — stripped down, almost spoken word] No lullabies, just sirens in a soft tone No off switch, I been stuck inside the thought zone Feelin’ like I cracked somethin’ ancient in my psyche But if I close my eyes… will it rewrite me? (whispers layered) Don’t sleep… don’t sleep… don’t sleep… [Breakdown — beat drops out, heartbeat + ambient noise] (panting breaths) Every second stretchin’… Every shadow talkin’… Every truth… got a twin… [Final Hook — biggest energy, stacked vocals, slight distortion] I don’t sleep, I just dream with my eyes open (eyes open) Reality crackin’, I can hear what the sky’s spoken (sky’s spoken) Wide awake, but I’m driftin’ in the deep end (deep end) Genius or I’m losin’ it—depends what you believe in (believe in) I don’t sleep, I just dream with my eyes open (eyes open) Time slippin’, every second feelin’ slow motion (slow motion) Smilin’ at the chaos, yeah I’m toe-to-toein’ (toe-to-toein’) With the reaper or a revelation—I don’t know which road I’m on then [Outro — fading, eerie clarity] If I rest… will I wake up less divine? Or lose every line that aligned in my mind? Either way… I been ridin’ this edge ‘til it break— Sleep is death’s cousin… (long pause) …I’m dodgin’ the wake. (static fades)
