Lyrics

[Intro]

Shadows stitch the ceiling

Clock hands carve the dark

Breathing feels like drowning

Eyes are open

World is warped

[Verse 1]

Footsteps in the hallway

But the house is made of stone

Pictures turn and face me

Every silence overgrown

Names I have forgotten

Scratch like branches in my head

I am walking

I am falling

Through a maze beneath my bed

[Chorus]

In the living nightmare

I’m awake inside the wound

Every whispered warning

Is a sermon from the tomb

If I tear my eyes wide

Still the walls begin to bend

In this living nightmare

Where the night will never end

[Verse 2]

Stairways loop in circles

Every doorway just repeats

Friends wear borrowed faces

Speaking lines between their teeth

Time dissolves in spirals

Clocks collapse and melt away

I am running

I am rooted

To the echo of today

[Chorus]

In the living nightmare

I’m awake inside the wound

Every whispered warning

Is a sermon from the tomb

If I tear my eyes wide

Still the walls begin to bend

In this living nightmare

Where the night will never end

[Bridge]

[Half-time

Choirs rising]

I see a child with my own eyes

Reaching out from shattered glass (shattered glass)

All the futures I denied

Crawl like serpents through the past

Will I ever find the doorway

Not a circle

But a line?

Or am I the ghost that’s haunting

Every version of my life? (of my life)

[Chorus]

In the living nightmare

I’m the question

I’m the blade

Every chosen silence

Built the prison that I made

If I face the horror

Will the waking world descend?

In this living nightmare

I will learn to be the end

[Outro]

Heart like ringing iron

Breath like breaking stone

If I must sleep in terror

I will carve a throne

From the living nightmare

I will rise

Alone (woah)
