Nobody Sleeps Here

It isn’t the time now to tell her our plans

It isn’t our fault that this nightmare won’t end

At first it was like a dream

Now I’m only reminded of death

She was a shadow on the walls of my room

How quickly those same walls became my tomb

Oh, how they welcomed me to sleep

Now I can only wait for the dawn and weep

I wait for the dawn and weep

There is a dark man at the door

Waiting for me to step outside

Nobody sleeps here anymore

If only a dream would let me hide

I’m lying anxious in the light of the moon

Though beyond the curtain some devil still looms

I wait here paralyzed with fear

And I wonder how much time I have left

I come to quickly there’s a knock on my door

So many dark memories flood back in once more

I wish that I could run and hide

There’s one way out, but I just can’t go outside

I see someone standing in the shadows

He won’t come into the light

Maybe I’ll go to him and see just what

He has in store for me

It can’t be worse than another sleepless night

Oh, how I prayed for the end, this unbearable dream

Could no longer pretend, she was not...

I went to sleep in another world

Lost in a dream not my own

Oh, how I prayed for the end, this unbearable dream

Could no longer pretend, she was not as she seemed

There is a dark man at the door

Waiting for me to step outside

Nobody sleeps here anymore

It was only a dream

But now

The nightmare is gone
