verse 1:
the room spins,
kaleidoscopes blur and bend.
the darkness always wins —
I stopped trying to pretend.
her voice is louder than i remember,
cold sweat dripping down my face.
her hair is amber,
i can see her clear as grace.
pre-chorus:
she told me to do it,
said I could take the heat.
did you feel that hit?
my heart skipped a beat.
chorus:
nightmare on my sleeve,
caught in my creation.
stealing my peace,
feeding my hallucination.
verse 2:
sleep paralysis takes me,
it’s tightening the air.
I might be having a crisis —
but no one’s really there.
the words haunt me to death,
the shadows are watching me,
there lies something underneath,
please, I don’t wanna see.
pre-chorus:
I wake inside a dream,
the dark devours my mind.
is this reality —
or what I left behind?
chorus:
nightmare on my sleeve,
all this imagination,
stealing my peace,
feeding my hallucination.
outro:
save me, help me,
the box is too high on my shelf.
I can’t carry it alone —
I’m losing myself.
I haven’t slept in days,
I just need some space.
please let me find my place —
this can’t be just a phase… can it?
