Sleep

Lyrics

[Intro – spoken, soft piano & ambient guitar]
The night doesn’t bring rest anymore.
It just fills the room with thoughts
that won’t leave when I close my eyes.
They don’t whisper, They cut.
They echo in the dark,
and peace…
peace left the day you did.
---
[Verse 1 – soft rhythm, emotional]
I wake, but I don't arrive.
Walk through hours, just survive.
Your face is gone, the frames are clear,
but your voice still echoes here.
I cleared the walls, erased your name,
but nothing ever feels the same.
---
[Pre-Chorus 1 – light drums, rising tension]
Cried ‘til empty,
then came rage.
Laughed to fake it,
stage by stage.
But nothing healed,
it all just stayed.
Another night
in your decay.
---
[Chorus – emotional, honest, corrected]
How can you sleep
knowing what you’ve done to me?
How do you breathe
through the wreck you didn’t see?
My head says “leave,”
my heart says “stay,”
but I break a little more
every day.
You walked out clean,
but I stayed torn.
You closed the door,
and I was reborn—
not in light,
but in pain and flame.
And still I scream
your name.
---
[Verse 2 – rhythm intensifies, guitars grow]
We were three –
now I’m one.
You took her hand
and you were gone.
You and me –
a silent war.
She heard it all,
and nothing more.
---
[Bridge – kompakt, eindringlich, ruhiger]
You sleep like peace,
while I still burn.
A war inside
at every turn.
She’s with you now,
but her eyes stay
right here,
every day.
---
[Pre-Chorus 2 – zurückgenommen, ruhig]
Alone in rooms
we built as home,
but I’m the one
left all alone.
I carry fire,
I carry pain.
And still,
I whisper your name.
---
[Combined Final Chorus – komprimiert, episch, Gitarrensolo folgt]
How can I heal
when the wound’s still wide?
How can I hope
when it all just died?
How can you sleep,
knowing you shattered me cold,
and lie untouched
by the chaos you controlled?
You’re gone –
but the scream’s still here.
And in her eyes…
I disappear.
---
---
[Outro – ruhig, ehrlich, leise]
You moved on.
I stayed broken.
No goodbye.
No word was spoken.
Just this silence
and the scream.
