[Intro]
In the shadows where the nightmares play,
I close my eyes but they won’t fade away.
Caught in a fight, a ghost from the past,
I’m searching for daylight, hoping this won’t last.
[Verse 1]
Another sleepless night, I’m back in the fray,
With echoes of laughter that lead me astray.
Each whisper of fear wraps around my mind,
While memories linger, so cruel and unkind.
[Pre-Chorus]
And the weight on my chest, it tightens like chains,
These night terrors strike, igniting the flames.
I feel every wound that was left unhealed,
In this battlefield where I’ve always kneeled.
[Chorus]
Night terrors, take me, but set me free,
From the shackles of the past, let me breathe.
Which one’s the demon that’s haunting my dreams?
Is it the blade, or the love that it seems?
[Verse 2]
Sweat on my brow, I wake up in fear,
The echoes of silence, a voice I can't hear.
A fragile heart that’s been battered and torn,
This journey through darkness, I feel so forlorn.
[Pre-Chorus]
And every scar tells a tale of despair,
Whispers of ghosts loom heavy in the air.
Why did they hurt me? why did they go?
Carrying burdens, I'll never outgrow.
[Chorus]
Night terrors, take me, but set me free,
From the shackles of the past, let me breathe.
Which one’s the demon that’s haunting my dreams?
Is it the blade, or the love that it seems?
[Bridge]
But here in the light, I find resilience so strong,
I’ll rise from the ashes, I've carried too long.
With strength I will carry, I’ll break through the pain,
Night terrors will fade, I’m learning to reign.
[Chorus]
Night terrors, take me, but set me free,
From the shackles of the past, let me breathe.
Which one’s the demon that’s haunting my dreams?
Is it the blade, or the love that it seems?
[Outro]
So when shadows creep in, I’ll ground my soul tight,
With every heartbeat, I’ll claim back the night.
These night terrors fade, I’ve found my own way,
In the dawn of the morning, I’m ready to stay.
