[Intro]
mm-mm
don’t fall asleep
unless he’s there
[Verse 1]
dark room, shaking hands
trying not to understand
every time I start to slip
I see him appear in the mist
black hoodie, silent breath
standing where the fear gets less
like he knows I’m breaking down
before the sound even comes out
sleep gets closer, I feel it too
but he steps in like he always do
between the nightmares and my mind
like he’s standing on the line
[Pre-Chorus]
when I start to disappear
he’s the reason I stay here
[Chorus]
masked guy
don’t let me fall asleep tonight
(masked guy)
stay between me and what hides inside
whole world fades when he appears
like fear gets quieter near
standing there in broken light
keeping me alive at night
oh-oh
he feels like danger and safety too
(safety too)
yeah-yeah
I don’t know what he pulls me through
masked guy…
don’t leave when I close my eyes
[Post-Chorus]
(ghost in my bloodstream)
midnight heartbeat
(chasing me slowly)
even in my dreams you find me
(heartbeat — no sleep)
shadow in the backseat
(don’t turn around)
you’re right behind me
[Verse 2]
sleep tries pulling me under
but he stands there like thunder
like if I fall, he’ll fall too
so he keeps me halfway through
I don’t know if he’s saving me
or just another part of me
but when the dark gets too real
he’s the only thing I feel
[Pre-Chorus]
maybe he’s real
maybe he’s what I made to survive
[Chorus]
masked guy
hold the night back in my mind
(masked guy)
don’t let the dreams cross that line
if I start to disappear
keep me anchored right here
between the sleep and the fear
he’s the reason I’m still here
oh-oh
he feels like adrenaline and calm
(calm and harm)
yeah-yeah
I don’t know if he saves or haunts
masked guy…
just don’t let me fall asleep
[Outro]
mm-mm
black hoodie
city rain
still here
still awake
still safe… maybe
Beexii
