I lie with my eyes closed tight My dreams are nightmares tonight Breaching into my reality Squeezing my chest so I can’t breathe Not knowing you can’t be real Feeling what I always feel Pain comes into me dramatically Until I wake that’s when I see Rising from the pain Disappearing from myself again Wake me when I take My last breath away Pain – waking me from my dreams Pain – nothing is as it seems Pain – causing me fear at night An inner war I cannot fight Hand wrapping around my throat You’re quickly taking control I’m so helpless, you’ve taken me Into a world where I can’t breathe Rising from the pain Disappearing from myself again Wake me when I take My last breath away Pain – waking me from my dreams Pain – nothing is as it seems Pain – causing me fear at night An inner war I cannot fight As I catch my breath, I awaken to a day unknown As I catch my breath, I step out from the shadows (shadows) As I catch my breath, I am leaving my dreams filled with ghosts As I catch my breath, my body becomes their host (host) Rising from the pain Disappearing from myself again Wake me when I take My last breath away Pain – waking me from my dreams Pain – nothing is as it seems Pain – causing me fear at night An inner war I cannot fight Pain – waking me from my dreams Pain – nothing is as it seems Pain – causing me fear at night An inner war I cannot fight I awaken to a day unknown As I catch my breath, I step out from the shadows (shadows)
