Spinning in My Sleep
Metal Riffs and Licks Song | Spinning in My Sleep by Ward C Locke
Where the waking world and the dream world stop being polite about which one is real.

No genre, no destination, no preconceived notion of what the music should sound like. Just whatever the muse is pointing at today, followed honestly and made with whatever tools work. The results don't always fit a category. That's the point. Come along if you're curious where it goes next.

That specific exhaustion where sleep doesn't feel like rest. The walls lean in, the ground feels wrong, and the things you love most start slipping before you can get a grip on them. Somewhere in the spin, you're still looking for something solid.

Lyrics
Shhh the clock drifts sideways
Listen
Time folds
The shadows breathe
I saw the moon split into silver gears
Time unwound itself across the years
Rivers of brass ran uphill in streams
Clouds rained mirrors, fracturing my dreams
I walked on shadows, liquid and wide
The sky pressed down, I could not hide
I tried to shout but words dissolved
Feet stuck to patterns I never solved
Everything shifted - nothing stayed
All I knew melted, and all I feared played
Ooooooh I’m spinning in my sleep
Falling where the edges curl and creep
Nothing’s real, but it cuts so deep
Ooooooh I’m spinning in my sleep
Ooooooh spinning in my sleep
A neon tiger bowed across the stars
Its stripes like lightning, its eyes like scars
Mountains waltzed and oceans ran dry
I chased a comet with a fire in my eye
Faces I loved crumbled into sand
Slipped through my fingers like time’s own hand
Walls bend inward, breathing slow
Floor dissolves to velvet glow
Logic cracks, reason peels to lace
The universe laughs in empty space
Ooooooh I’m spinning in my sleep
Falling where the edges curl and creep
Nothing’s real, but it cuts so deep
Ooooooh I’m spinning in my sleep
Ooooooh spinning in my sleep
Tickshock
Moon melts into the clock
Sand turns liquid, rocks float
Unlock unlock unlock
Ooooooh still spinning in my sleep
Drifting where the dream and dreamer meet
Nothing’s real but I’m finally free
Ooooooh spinning in my sleep
Ooooooh spinning in my sleep
Wake up
Or stay inside the clock
Tick tock
Tick tock
Tick tock
Tick tock
