[Verse 1]
Fell asleep with my eyes wide shut
Now I’m walking where the sun gives up
The sky is bleeding, the ground’s alive
Every breath feels like a fight to survive
Whispers echo down these halls
Clawed hands scratch at crumbling walls
Goblins grin with twisted teeth
Hiding lies beneath their speech
[Pre-Chorus]
I run, but the dark runs too
No way out, no light breaks through
[Chorus]
Monsters in the shadows, crawling through my mind
Ghosts and ghouls are whispering lies
Demons laughing while I scream
I’m trapped inside this wicked dream
Creatures hunt and horrors stare
Every heartbeat’s a silent prayer
I try to hide, but I’m not unseen
Still trapped in the dream — in between
⸻
[Verse 2]
Spiders speak in tongues of fire
Chains of smoke pull me higher
Eyes glow red in forests black
And if I stop, they’ll drag me back
A mirror shows my face undone
I see the fear I’ve tried to run
A voice inside says, “This is you”
But I don’t know what’s false or true
[Pre-Chorus]
I crawl through dread, I swim through screams
In this place, nothing’s what it seems
[Chorus]
Monsters in the shadows, crawling through my mind
Ghosts and ghouls are whispering lies
Demons laughing while I scream
I’m trapped inside this wicked dream
Creatures hunt and horrors stare
Every heartbeat’s a silent prayer
I try to hide, but I’m not unseen
Still trapped in the dream — in between
⸻
[Bridge]
No escape, no door, no key
This nightmare world remembers me
The deeper I go, the more I lose
But to survive, I must choose
⸻
[Final Chorus]
Monsters in the shadows, screaming in my head
Every step feels close to dead
But still I fight, I still believe
There’s something more beyond this dream
If I fall, then let it be
With fire in my eyes and teeth
They won’t own the soul in me
Even trapped in the dream — I try my hardest breathe
