Hypnic Jerk - The Glass Child [Lyric Video]

I wrote this song ’Hypnic Jerk’ one night back in 2010, living in London. I had insomnia and was unable to fall asleep. It was dark and my head was cloudy and I couldn’t stop thinking about memories and lost people and at some point I could no longer decide if the voices I heard were in a dream or if they were real. If the things I saw were in my head or in my room.

A Hypnic Jerk; the feeling of falling just before you fall asleep. This phenomenon seems to be more common when the sleeper is uncomfortable or overly tired.

LYRICS + CHORDS
Bm / A / G / G#
The day is finally over and you come alive
I'm slowly opening my window, let you come inside
In the dark, all my fears, they all disappear
Its a hoax, my love
I've seen it all before

You hear him whisper like a distant call
And then he tells you that he miss you, makes you feel so small
In the dark with the stars it all seems so close
In your head its real, he's getting near and

CHORUS
Softly, you lay your head beside me
Say you feel my heart beat
Im too numb to feel you
Im to numb to see you

Tell me are you see through?
This ghost you're turning into
I shut my eyes, and you're no longer here

VERSE
When the sun is slowly rising it all hits me hard
Like a knife in my chest ripping out my hard
Reality is out there tearing lives apart

And I'm living here alone with just a memory of you
I'm acting normal saying 'hi' each day
One feet and then the other, hide your ghost away
Then they say the day is over and you come alive
In my head it's real, you're getting near

CHORUS
Softly, you lay your head beside me
Say you feel my heart beat
I'm too numb to feel you
I'm to numb to see you
Tell me are you see through?
This ghost you're turning into
I shut my eyes, and you're no longer here
