No Rot, No Sleep

Verse 1

Lowered

Stillness, six hands, bone on bark

Earth received breathing, not air

Honey seeping under fingernails

It thickens the dark

Nothing collapses — not yet

Pressure holds every part

Remember the warmth

A thumb on the chest

No rot

No rest

Chorus

Sweet earth won’t let us sleep

Sweet earth won’t let us sleep

Still feeling, still waiting

Years loop, sealed beneath

Sweet earth won’t let us sleep

Post-Chorus

Still, still

Still, still

Verse 2

Dirt on the lungs — it’s muscle memory

Remember when you were meant to fade

Bones ache — quiet, ancient

Roots pulling marrow away

Mouth honey-sealed

No plea, only patience remains

Still here

No pain sharp

Cruel comfort stains

Chorus

Sweet earth won’t let us sleep

Sweet earth won’t let us sleep

Still feeling, still waiting

Years loop, sealed beneath

Sweet earth won’t let us sleep

Post-Chorus

Still, still

Still, still

Bridge

We are not gone

We are not gone

Looping, repeating — every layer

Weight of the world, heavy honey

Warmth pressing down

No dream, no dawn

Verse 3

Voices dim — only soil speaks now

Insects read the lines of the face

Never alone, never released

Soft collapse, but never erased

Remember the surface? It slipped away

Warmth, restraint

Chorus

Sweet earth won’t let us sleep

Sweet earth won’t let us sleep

Still feeling, still waiting

Years loop, sealed beneath

Sweet earth won’t let us sleep

Post-Chorus

Still, still

Still, still

Outro

Silent now

Silent now
