Verse 1 [Chugging palm-muted riff, staccato drums] "My eyes are TV screens stuck on rerun mode,[Call-and-response guitar: Dun-dun-dun… dun-dun-dun] Clock’s ticking Morse code I’m too fried to decode.[Call-and-response guitar: Dun-dun-dun… dun-dun-dun] The ceiling’s a therapist chargin’ by the hour,[Call-and-response guitar: Dun-dun-dun… dun-dun-dun] Says, ‘Sleep’s for the weak’… but I’ve got no power."[Call-and-response guitar: Dun-dun-dun… dun-dun-dun] [Call-and-response guitar: Dun-dun-dun… dun-dun-dun] Pre-Chorus [Riff climbs, vocals fray] *"I counted sheep ‘til they unionized, Demanded overtime… now they’re picketin’ my mind![Call-and-response guitar: Dun-dun-dun… dun-dun-dun] Coffee’s just a lie in a yesterday cup, And the moon’s a spotlight… yellin’, ‘GET THE FUCK UP!’" Chorus [Power chords explode, exhausted melody] "3 A.M. STATIC! A BRAIN IN REVERSE! Tomorrow’s a deadline… but I’m stuck in this curse. The night’s got teeth, and it’s chewin’ my bones— I’d sell my soul for 10 MINUTES OF SLEEP!" [Guitar response: Dun-dun-dun… dun-dun-dun] Verse 2 [Same riff, more desperate] "My phone’s a traitor blarin’ ads for melatonin, Pillow’s a brick, sheets are straight-up Stalin. I memorized the cracks in these four damn walls, And the silence screams louder… than my last wake-up call." Bridge [Half-time breakdown, whispered confession] "I bargained with the sunrise—‘I’ll be good, I’ll behave!’ It laughed like a jackal… then ghosted ‘til the grave.’ Now the birds start chirpin’… they’re all fucking liars, ‘Cause dawn’s just a rumor… for the sleep-deprived pyres." Guitar Solo [Squealing, off-kilter notes mirroring spiraling thoughts] Final Chorus [Crowd shouts, chaotic harmony] "3 A.M. STATIC! A BRAIN IN REVERSE! My sanity’s shrinkin’… but the void’s gettin’ worse![Guitar response: Dun-dun-dun… dun-dun-dun] The night’s got teeth, and it’s chewin’ my bones—[Guitar response: Dun-dun-dun… dun-dun-dun] I’d sell my soul for 10 MINUTES OF SLEEP!" Outro [Riff fades] "3 A.M. static… 3 A.M. static…" Fuck it. I'm Up.
