Nightmare
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.
like a moth drawn to flame, it comes for you
in the middle of the night alone in your room
screaming and crying and trying to be heard
it tells you you're nothing without saying a word
feeds on your mind, feeds on your skin
its hands feel so cold as it tries to get in
you can't scream, you can't hide
you can't run to the other side
you can't feel, you can't cry
you can't run, you are paralyzed
take it away
I want you to take it away
I fear it so..
and you can't take a breath: it's crushing you
feel a hand reaching in, and what can you do?
screaming and crying and trying to be heard
trying to fight it but you can't say a word
it rips at your mind, tears at your soul
afraid that you're losing and you'll never be whole
you can't scream, you can't hide
you can't run to the other side
you can't feel, you can't cry
you can't run, you are paralyzed
take it away
I want you to take it away
I fear it so..
