### Lyrics: "Wakeful Eyes"

Verse 1:
Moonlight through dusty blinds
Thoughts that whisper and won't go away
Blood under fingernails, memories that burn
Sleep escapes while time stands still
The neighbor's cat sings opera to the night
The murderer listens and stares at the ceiling

Chorus:
Wakeful eyes in the darkness
Wakeful eyes see all
No rest for sinful souls
When night's hours are counted

Verse 2:
The pillow gets the blame, is beaten and turned
Warm milk doesn't help my rest
The clock ticks, my mind is burned
My deeds force me to smile
But sleep doesn't come to those who kill
Only coffee keeps me on my feet now

Chorus:
Wakeful eyes in the darkness
Wakeful eyes see all
No rest for sinful souls
When night's hours are counted

Verse 3:
Should I count sheep or victims?
Nothing innocent suits me
Perhaps I'll count the mistakes that will come
When the detective follows my trail
But the clock ticks, mocking my madness
Four twenty-seven, sleep is distant

Chorus:
Wakeful eyes in the darkness
Wakeful eyes see all
No rest for sinful souls
When night's hours are counted

Solo:
(Instrumental section with distorted piano and xylophone gradually becoming more chaotic)

Verse 4:
The newspapers are already waiting for me
Headlines about fatigue and captivity
Caffeine in the blood, eyes red
Perhaps that was what became my downfall
Not the deed itself, but the lack of sleep
The ultimate punishment for my sins

Bridge:
Sleep, sleep, where are you?
Close my eyes, see only blood
Sleep, sleep, let me forget
Just one hour before dawn

Verse 5:
The moon disappears, the sun will come
Night has conquered my mind
The bed is cold, and hands are shaking
Perhaps it's true what they all say:
That the murderer never finds peace
Only the victim can sleep eternally

Chorus:
Wakeful eyes in the darkness
Wakeful eyes see all
No rest for sinful souls
When night's hours are counted

Outro:
Wakeful eyes... wakeful eyes...
Sleep comes only to those pure of mind
Wakeful eyes... wakeful eyes...
(Fades out with the sounds of a cat meowing and an alarm clock ringing)
