In My Sleep

歌詞

I heard whispers crawl under my skin, Shadows laughin’ with a broken grin Doors slam shut with no one near, But I see my face in the mirror — smeared. Candles burn but the flames turn black, Clock says twelve, but time won’t track Steps behind me, breath on my neck, Woke up once… but it’s still a wreck In my sleep, the monsters talk, Walkin’ circles round the block Dead-eyed faces, silent screams, Tied up tight in haunted dreams Don’t wake me up — I’m stuck too deep These demons only dance in sleep I try to run, I try to fight, But they come alive past midnight I saw my shadow move on its own, It whispered secrets I’ve never known Blood on the floor — but I ain’t hurt, Laughin’ ghosts in a preacher’s shirt My voice won’t work, my limbs feel chained, Every nightmare got a familiar name This ain't fiction, this ain’t play, I’m still asleep… but I can't stay In my sleep, the monsters talk, Walkin’ circles round the block Dead-eyed faces, silent screams, Tied up tight in haunted dreams Don’t wake me up — I’m stuck too deep These demons only dance in sleep I try to run, I try to fight, But they come alive past midnight So if I vanish, let me be, I’m trapped between what you can’t see This horror’s mine, don’t pull me back, I live where nightmares fade to black
