lyrics

I’m in a nightmare
An endless dream
No matter where I seem to go, it’s the same it seems
This is a horror,
From which I can’t run
No matter where I seem to go, it’s the same because
They’re coming in the night
I’ll leave on all the lights
We’ll make it out alive
Cause there’s a phantom in the walls
And there’s a ghost coming through the floor,
And if the monsters want, they can find me here
I’m not facing the world on my own, anymore
Anymore
For every nightmare
They prescribe a pill
I don’t know if they silence them
Or just keep them still
And for a horror
Just a dose of love
And if the ghouls; they come for me
I’ll be here because
They’re coming in the night
I’ll leave on all the lights
We’ll make it out alive
Bad dreams keep me awake at night
like if I sleep then the devils gonna take my life
that’s why I stay awake and never close my eyes
with all these evil thoughts always on my mind and if I
close my eyes that’s when the devil creeps in,
and steals my soul while I’m sleeping,
forget the sandman the grim reapers reaping
those who sleep and he’s coming for me so I stay awake
I see them coming thru the walls but I won’t run away
So Watch me stand here and fight em until my dying day.
Coz I will never give up I’m never giving in,
So tell em phantoms to quit coz they will never win.
They’re coming in the night
I won’t give up
I’m here to fight
I’ll stand my ground, til the end of the line
