Welcome to my nightmare of masquerades in shades of grey I'm paralyzed by all the fear inside my head Is this how it's supposed to end? With white light rushing in Just strap this ball and chain around my neck and choke me And I'll try to scream for help but the words just fade and whisper And you can hear my every thought and how it haunts me But I'll fight with every ounce of strength that I have left If I dream tonight, will I die too? And if I fall asleep, will I fade away? It's just a dream, when everything you second guess It's not my time to die, I will not leave tonight Just like the stories that they told And those demons want me now If I dream tonight, will I die too? And if I fall asleep, will I fade away? Wake up from this nightmare Wake up from this lucid dream Wake up from my real life
