The lights go out, the world starts to creep in
Hard to keep it out
The walls fall down, it all starts to thin
Hard to scream and shout
Muscles tense and feelings explode
Begging just to move
Eyes won't work and everything has slowed
Nothing I can prove
All that you dread
Is all inside your head
Can I show you
Hold you down
Close your eyes
All there are
Nightmares in the dark
You can only see
Nightmares in the dark
You, can't run
Are you safe or did you forget to
Slam and shut your door
All you've done is conjure up horrors
Crawling on your floor
Monsters creeping and feeling your hair
Praying on your mind
Is that something sitting in your chair
Or are you really blind
All that you dread
Is all inside your head
Can I show you
Hold you down
Close your eyes
All there are
Nightmares in the dark
You can only see
Nightmares in the dark
You, can't run
All that you dread
Is all inside your head
Can I show you
Hold you down
Close your eyes
All there are
All that you dread
Is all inside your head
Can I show you
Hold you down
Close your eyes
All there are
Nightmares in the dark
You can only see
Nightmares in the dark
You, can't run
