No Cure for the Night

About this track

[Verse 1] I’m fighting for a moment of rest But my head knows me best My worst fears come alive when I close my eyes Breathing like a vice around my chest Feels like some entity snuffing out my breath Every night I choke in the dark, awake inside Cold sweat drips from my skin Horrible images crawl back in Sleep should be peaceful, but it’s a war instead It’s not fair, it’s not fun I’ve been battling this since day one This is the battlefield I face in my bed [Pre-Chorus] I can’t sleep, I won’t sleep Though I beg for peace, it never comes I’m too tired to dream Too haunted to run [Chorus] No cure for the night, no end to the fight Every breath feels stolen when I close my eyes Insomnia, apnea, nightmares collide I’m suffocating under shadows I can’t deny Sleep shouldn’t feel like a battle for my life But I’m bleeding in my mind where my fears survive [Verse 2] Night terrors like ghosts in disguise PTSD burning the back of my eyes Every night a war with no escape plan All I want is to drift, to float, to heal But I wake in a panic that feels too real Sleep disorder carving scars into who I am I’ve been suffering my whole life No cure in sight, only endless strife It’s hard to rest when the night becomes a crime When my body won’t obey, when my mind won’t stop Every pillow feels like a trap I can’t drop I just want peace for a moment of time [Pre-Chorus] I can’t sleep, I won’t sleep Though I beg for peace, it never comes I’m too tired to dream Too haunted to run [Chorus] No cure for the night, no end to the fight Every breath feels stolen when I close my eyes Insomnia, apnea, nightmares collide I’m suffocating under shadows I can’t deny Sleep shouldn’t feel like a battle for my life But I’m bleeding in my mind where my fears survive [Bridge / Breakdown] [whisper-scream] Suffocated lungs, shadows on my chest This is not a nightmare — it’s my nightly test PTSD, sleep’s an enemy I’m clawing for daylight but it won’t release me [heavier growl] Let me sleep, let me breathe Take this demon off of me Every night I fight to live When all I want is peace [Final Chorus] No cure for the night, no end to the fight Every breath feels stolen when I close my eyes Insomnia, apnea, nightmares collide I’m suffocating under shadows I can’t deny Sleep shouldn’t feel like a battle for my life But I’m bleeding in my mind where my fears survive [Outro] [spoken, fading] Why can’t my body just let me be? All I ever wanted was to sleep in peace…
