I close my eyes but the dark don’t fade
It breathes like it’s alive in the mess I made
Whispers crawl through the back of my head
Sayin’ things I buried ain’t ever dead
Cold sweat drippin’ down my spine
Clock stuck still at 3:09
Every night it’s the same damn scene
Something in the dark tryna find me
(Pre-Chorus)
I try to run but my feet don’t move
Like the fear’s got something left to prove
(Chorus)
There’s shadows in my sleep
And they know where I’ve been
Every scar, every sin
Yeah they pull me in deep
When I’m losing control
They’re inside of my soul
And I can’t break free
From the shadows in my sleep
(Verse 2)
Faces flash but they got no names
Just echoes drowning in the pain
Every step feels paper thin
Like I’m fallin’ through where I’ve already been
Heartbeat louder than a scream
Reality blurs into the dream
Try to wake but I’m locked inside
With the things I keep tryna hide
(Pre-Chorus)
I feel them close, right behind my breath
Like they’re countin’ down what I’ve got left
(Chorus)
There’s shadows in my sleep
And they know where I’ve been
Every scar, every sin
Yeah they pull me in deep
When I’m losing control
They’re inside of my soul
And I can’t break free
From the shadows in my sleep
(Bridge)
Maybe I’m the ghost I fear
Maybe I brought them all right here
Every regret, every lie I told
Turned into hands that won’t let go
(Slow, stripped)
If I face them, would they fade away?
Or drag me deeper where they stay…
(Final Chorus)
There’s shadows in my sleep
And they’re wearing my face
Every past I can’t erase
Yeah they cut me so deep
But I’m starting to see
They’re just pieces of me
Still I can’t break free
From the shadows in my sleep
(Outro)
So I stay awake, scared to dream…
But they’re waiting… in between.
