In waking world and in my dreams
I feel myself tear at the seams
The shadows always watch and follow
In bed awake I fear tomorrow
They told me the date that I die
And I'm afraid, I cannot lie
In sleep, they hide outside my house
And beckon me to take a look
I am frightened as a mouse
And hide myself behind a book
I plunge deeper into fantasies
I don't want to face this reality
I bury myself in other's worlds
And hide from the things unfurled
In waking world and in my dreams
I feel myself tear at the seams
In darkness my heart starts to pound
I do not like the things I've found
They must not know that I'm aware
Or I might not wake from this nightmare
In waking world and in my dreams
I feel myself tear at the seams
I cannot run
I cannot hide
I cannot scream nor can I confide
In waking world and in my dreams
I feel them tear me at the seams
If they learn that I'm aware
I'll never wake from this nightmare
