Unsleepable
Spoken-word experimental rock, dark nocturnal mood, male voice, half-spoken half-sung delivery, tense and intimate, minimal bass and dry drums, repetitive hypnotic rhythm, dissonant guitar swells, subtle electronic pulses, anxious and claustrophobic atmosphere, slow burn, art-rock sensibility, late-night insomnia energy, unfinished resolution

Lyrics
Intro
Counting sheep
In Sleep Sanctuary
Reading world history
Breathing 4-7-8
Verse
It's not that you can't sleep
You're just awake
And the two melatonins
Are not working
With numbers going by
Impulses electrify
Your brain ain't sleeping tonight
Pre-Chorus
It's not that you can't close your eyes and dream
It's not that you can't shut your mouth and scream
Chorus
It's something, something you just can't describe
It's real, but it's fake all at the same time
It's in, and it's out of all at once
The headlights are blinking twice
Yes, he is online
Yes, he is alive
Verse
It's not that you can't speak
You're just afraid
And the two benzodiazepines
Are not kicking in
With figures going by
Images blurified
Your mind ain't shutting tonight
Pre-Chorus
It's not that you can't close your eyes and dream
It's not that you can't shut your mouth and scream
Chorus
It's something, something you just can't describe
It's real, but it's fake all at the same time
It's in, and it's out of all at once
The headlights are blinking twice
Yes, he is online
Yes, he is alive
Bridge
Counting sheep
In Sleep Sanctuary
Reading world history
Breathing 4-7-8
Listening to the rain
And water flowing
With a bit of aromatherapy
Meditation
Visualization
Progressive muscle relaxation
White noise and sound machine
Just maybe you can finally… sleep
Pre-Chorus
It's not that you can't close your eyes and dream
It's not that you can't shut your mouth and scream
Chorus
It's something, something you just can't describe
It's real, but it's fake all at the same time
It's in, and it's out of all at once
The headlights are blinking twice
Yes, he is online
Yes, he is alive
Chorus
It's something, something you just can't describe
It's real, but it's fake all at the same time
It's in, and it's out of all at once
The headlights are blinking twice
Yes, he is online
Yes, he is alive
