Someone is talking
But it's not conversation
Sounds more like a voice in my head
It says
'I live in nightmares
I'm the new god of panic
And I'm waiting for you to come home to me

'So boy, welcome to sleep
I'm gonna make you, make you, make you bleed.'

I could be dreaming
But then maybe that's fatal
There's nowhere to hide in your dreams
I'm so uneasy
I'm shaking and nervous
I'm alone in my room and I'm scared of it

So, don't let me sleep
It's gonna make me, make me, make me bleed

My mother told me
'Don't believe in ghost stories
There's nothing to hurt you in here.'
But she was wrong
And now it's come back to haunt me
It says it won't leave me alive for long

I don't want to sleep
It's gonna make me, make me, make me bleed
