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)
