Night Terrors

I cannot sleep at night, my dreams keep me awake
Night terrors pull me in and I’m afraid that it might take
My soul, my mind, my thoughts I’ll try to hide
Well, it wants and it takes, grab me from the other side
When it’s late and it’s dark and all the world’s in bed
I run, I chase these demons in my head
Night terrors keep me blind, my mind is gone astray
My bed is empty but I cannot sleep there, no way
Night terrors never cease, my head is bowed to pray
My teeth are falling out and snakes will make me pay
I cannot sleep at night, I’m taken by the light
Night terrors pull me in and I’m afraid that they just might
My wants, my needs, my voice is snatched away
I can’t talk, I can’t breathe, I can’t scream, I’m not okay
When it’s late and it’s dark and all the world’s in bed
I run, I chase these demons in my head
Night terrors make me sweat, I scream when I found out
My sheets are drenched now, but you know what that’s about
Night terror will not stop, this night will never end
Something inside is broken, it will never mend
My soul, my head, who’s that under my bed?
My dreams are filled with those who want to kill
When it’s late and it’s dark and all the world’s in bed
I run, I chase these demons from my head
Night terrors make me sweat, I scream when I found out
My sheets are drenched now, but you know what that’s about
Night terror will not stop, this night will never end
Something inside is broken, it will never mend
Night terrors keep me blind, my mind is gone astray
My bed is empty but I cannot sleep there, no way
Night terrors never cease, my head is bowed to pray
My teeth are falling out and snakes will make me pay
I cannot sleep at night, I’m taken by the light
Night terrors pull me in and I’m afraid that I might lose my mind
