Elara Dawn — Album 1.5: Mercy

Sleep Tight

"You don't have to disappear tonight"

[Intro — soft humming, gentle piano] Sleep tight Close your eyes The night is long But morning always arrives

[Verse 1] Your grandmother sang to keep the darkness gentle A small warm voice beside the turning rain Her lullaby was never meant to silence you It was there to help you dream without the fear

But somewhere comfort became consumption Somewhere rest became another screen And somewhere all the quiet little mercies Were replaced by endless glowing machines

[Pre-Chorus] Hush now Not forever Just long enough to heal Hush now The world can wait While your heart learns something real

[Chorus] Sleep tight Sleep tight You don’t have to disappear tonight Sleep tight Close your eyes without surrendering your light The world is still turning But so are the stars above And rest was never meant to numb you Rest was meant to remind you You are loved

Sleep tight Sleep tight

[Verse 2] Your mother left the hallway light on for a reason Not to trap you in a never-ending dream But so if fear arrived there’d still be something gentle Waiting at the edge between asleep and seen

And maybe now the world’s too loud to listen Maybe silence feels impossible to trust But exhaustion is not peace And numbness is not healing And surviving isn’t all you’re worthy of

[Pre-Chorus] Hush now Not because your voice doesn’t matter Hush now Because tired souls still need somewhere safe to land

[Chorus] Sleep tight Sleep tight You don’t have to drown inside the noise tonight Sleep tight The dark will pass if you let your heart breathe slow The world may try to sell you endless dreaming Endless fear Endless need But real rest leaves the door unlocked For you to wake again

Sleep tight The dawn still waits for you

[Bridge — warmth stripped gently, exposed voice] Rock-a-bye baby The storm will not stay Even the longest night Eventually breaks

No algorithm owns you No machine can hold your soul And no voice deserves the power To tell you not to grow

So rest But do not disappear

[Strings rise][Choir bloom softly]

[Final Chorus — full emotional lift] Sleep tight Sleep tight You are more than all the screens reflecting at you Sleep tight The morning has not forgotten your name The world is still turning And somewhere beyond the wires and the glow There’s a life still waiting for your real voice Not the quiet version they control

Sleep tight Sleep tight And when the morning finds you

Wake

[Outro — soft music box, warm] Hush now Close your eyes The night is ending

Sleep tight

I’ll leave the light on.
