Sleep Position
Dark oppressive nu metal, slow hypnotic groove, gritty slap bass pushed forward, dissonant dragging 7-string riffs, dry tom-heavy drums, minimal cymbals, suffocating late-night atmosphere, raw emotional production, heavy dynamic drops, no clean vocals, exhausted whispers to guttural painful screams, unstable insomnia-driven tension

Lyrics
Intro - whispered, half asleep
Turn again
Turn again
Can’t get comfortable
Verse 1 - Spoken word with pain
Sheets twisted around my legs
Pillow hot on both sides
Clock glowing red in the dark
3:14 again
And I keep changing positions
Like maybe the right angle fixes my head
Left side
Right side
Face down
Nothing works
My chest feels strange tonight
Not pain
Just wrong
Like my body forgot how to rest
I hear cars outside
A dog barking somewhere far away
The refrigerator humming through the wall
Everything sounds too awake
Pre-Chorus - shaky whisper
Close my eyes
Open them again
Chorus - guttural desperate screams
SLEEP POSITION
ANOTHER NIGHT
SLEEP POSITION
NOTHING FEELS RIGHT
And I
And I keep sinking into myself
My thoughts crawling over each other
Till I feel sick in bed
SLEEP POSITION
NO FUCKING REST
Verse 2 - Frantic rhythmic delivery
Blankets smell like sweat and dust
Mouth dry again
Jaw tight again
Leg shaking without stopping
And my brain keeps replaying stupid things
Old conversations
Embarrassing moments
Faces I don’t wanna remember
I try breathing slower
Try counting backwards
Try anything to shut my head off
But the silence keeps growing
And growing
And growing
Bridge - whispered collapse
Don’t let morning come yet
I haven’t slept at all
Final Chorus - primal screams
SLEEP POSITION
WIDE AWAKE
SLEEP POSITION
MY BODY ACHES
And I
And I
And I still feel everything moving inside me
