[Intro]
In the shadows where whispers fade,
Awake, the darkness invades,
A flickering light in the corner of my mind,
Chasing phantoms that I can't leave behind.
[Verse 1]
Beneath the silent screams of the night,
Memories twist, shifting out of sight,
Figures dance in the corner of my soul,
Fragments of fear that take their toll.
[Pre-Chorus]
I reach for hope, but it slips away,
Every shadow whispers what I dread to say.
Between the dreams and where we stand,
Lost in nightmares, no guiding hand.
[Chorus]
When the nightmares become real,
I feel their claws, I know the deal,
A haunting breath on my neck,
In the silence, I can’t forget.
When the nightmares become true,
I lose my breath, and I lose you,
Paralyzed by what I feel,
In this darkness, can I heal?
[Verse 2]
Wandering through a maze of despair,
Every corner turns, you’re never there,
Echoes linger in the empty hall,
I’m screaming out, but there's no call.
[Pre-Chorus]
I fight the monsters I cannot see,
In this mirror, where they reside in me.
Caught in the web of the fears I weave,
Can’t escape, but I won’t believe.
[Chorus]
When the nightmares become real,
I feel their claws, I know the deal,
A haunting breath on my neck,
In the silence, I can’t forget.
When the nightmares become true,
I lose my breath, and I lose you,
Paralyzed by what I feel,
In this darkness, can I heal?
[Bridge]
But through the shadows I will rise,
A flicker of strength in my tired eyes,
I’ll face the storm and take the wheel,
Turning nightmares into something real.
[Chorus]
When the nightmares become real,
I feel their claws, I know the deal,
But still I stand, I’ve made it clear,
I’ll take the fight, I won’t disappear.
When the nightmares become true,
I’ll find my path, and I’ll break through,
Transcending fear, I can feel,
In this darkness, I will heal.
[Outro]
So let the nightmares come and play,
I’ll shine a light to guide my way,
In the depths of night, oh can’t you see?
These nightmares won’t define me.
