Prompt:

Write a progressive acoustic-rock song driven by a syncopated fingerpicked guitar riff that loops like a ticking clock. The lyrics reflect a person caught in an endless night — their body tired, their mind refusing to rest. The chorus should soar with layered harmonies and shifting time signatures, expressing the emotional weight of sleeplessness: “I close my eyes, but they stay wide / The dream won’t come, though I’ve tried.” Include lyrical metaphors like “blankets made of static,” “thoughts marching like drums,” and “the ceiling breathing stories I forgot.” Bridge section gets darker and more psychedelic, with a whispered inner monologue and a rising polyrhythmic crescendo. Let the outro drift into a lullaby-like acoustic fadeout — unresolved, like the sleep that never arrives. Musical influences: Joey Eppard’s slap-fingerstyle, rhythmic transitions

Description:

In the image, a man is sitting on a rock near a tree, playing a guitar. He appears to be lost in thought, possibly reflecting on the lyrics of a song that expresses the emotional weight of sleeplessness. The scene is set against a backdrop of a moonlit night, with the moon visible in the sky. The man's posture and the guitar he is playing suggest a sense of introspection and creativity, as he immerses himself in the music.

Title: Endless Night Clockwork
Tags: Progressive Rock, Acoustic Guitar, Fingerstyle, Emotional, Syncopated

[Verse 1]
Tick-tock in my chest, a rhythm I can't mute
Blankets made of static, tangled in the loop
The moonlight creeps like liquid glass
Stretching every second that refuses to pass

[Pre-Chorus]
Thoughts marching like drums on a battlefield mind
Each echo louder than the one behind

[Chorus]
I close my eyes, but they stay wide
The dream won’t come, though I’ve tried
I reach for rest, it's a shadow I chase
While the ceiling breathes stories I forgot to erase

[Verse 2]
Pillows turn to shifting sands, can't hold their shape
Silence has a hum, like an old tape
I count the stars like beads on a wire
But they flicker like lies, and fuel my fire

[Pre-Chorus]
Twisting in threads of a thought-unraveled skein
Every whisper in my skull, a ghostly refrain

[Chorus]
I close my eyes, but they stay wide
The dream won’t come, though I’ve tried
The night folds in, but gives no peace
A breathless clock, never released

[Bridge - Psychedelic Whisper]
[Whispered]
How deep is the hole if it has no end?
What voice calls out when the world won’t bend?
A spiral within a spiral, time reversed...
Am I the dream or the cursed?
[Rising Polyrhythmic Crescendo]
Tick-tick, tock-tock, sync the pain
Sleep’s illusion, wrapped in rain

[Chorus - Layered Harmonies]
I close my eyes, but they stay wide
The dream won’t come, though I’ve tried
The ceiling sighs, the walls reply
Insomnia’s kiss beneath a false sky

[Outro - Lullaby Drift]
[Fade Out]
Soft plucks unwind the woven fight
Still I sway through the endless night...
