Paralysis

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I can feel you staring back at me

Another nightmare, I'm trapped in my own dream

Just close your eyes

What you feel is fake, what you feel is fake

All around the dark room

I can hear their sinister cries

What can I do to shake this feeling?

Screaming for help but no one can hear me

All alone, the demons come forth

Helpless as the shadows take, take form

Like a ghost preying on its victim

Can I just jolt from this lucid dream?

I can feel you staring back at me

So haunting, so empty

Another nightmare, I’m trapped in my own dream

I can't move, just wake up

I'm lost, alone

I feel like there’s no hope

I can hear you whispering to me

Fear me, fear me

Stay awake, don't succumb to the voices

Fight with all I have until there's no other choice

Stray away from the exhaustion

That embodies me

Never ending trauma is all that is left to see (Left to see)

Just for tonight I need to stay alive

It's all happening so quick

And I'm running out of time

I can feel you staring back at me

So haunting, so empty

Another nightmare, I'm trapped in my own dream

I can't move, just wake up

I'm lost, alone

I feel like there’s no hope

I can hear you whispering to me

Fear me, fear me

It’s all happening so quick

And I'm running out of time

Before I come to my senses, it’s all over

And my mind feels so weary

My eyes so fucking heavy (So fucking heavy)

(I can feel you staring back at me

Another nightmare, I'm trapped in my own dream)

I can feel you staring back at me

So haunting, so empty

Another nightmare, I'm trapped in my own dream

I can't move, just wake up

I’m lost, alone

I feel like there's no hope

I can hear you whispering to me

Fear me, fear me

I can hear you whispering to me

Fear me, fear me
