Nobody sleeps here

It isn’t the time now to tell her our plans
It isn’t our fault that this nightmare won’t end
At first it was like a dream
Now I’m only reminded of death

She was a shadow on the walls of my room
How quickly those same walls became my tomb
Oh how they welcomed me to sleep
Now I can only wait for the dawn and weep
I wait for the dawn and weep

There is a dark man at the door
Waiting for me to step outside
Nobody sleeps here anymore
If only a dream would let me hide

I’m lying anxious in the light of the moon
Though beyond the curtain some devil still looms
I wait here paralyzed with fear
And I wonder how much time I have left
I come to quickly there’s a knock on my door
So many dark memories flood back in once more
I wish that I could run and hide
There’s only one way out but I just can’t go outside

I see someone standing in the shadows
He won’t come into the light
Maybe I’ll go to him and see just what
“He has in store for me”
It can’t be worse than another sleepless night
Oh how I prayed for the end, this unbearable dream
Could no longer pretend, she was not
I went to sleep in another world
Lost in a dream not my own

Oh how I prayed for the end, this unbearable dream
Could no longer pretend, she was not as she seemed

There is a dark man at the door
Waiting for me to step outside
Nobody sleeps here anymore
It was only a dream
But now
The Nightmare is gone
