Voxyn - Nightmare's Control Lyrics

In the shadows of my dreams, I lose my way
Someone else takes control, night turns to day.
I close my eyes, but I'm not alone
In the dark, another me takes the throne.

Who's the stranger living in my skin?
He moves my limbs, he's pulling me in.
I hear the whispers, can't scream or fight
A darker self takes flight in the night.
He wears my face, but the eyes aren't mine
A puppet's dance, I'm bound by his line.
The mirror cracks, but I'm trapped inside
In this nightmare, there's nowhere to hide.

I fall asleep, but he wakes up
Takes the reins, won't give them up.
He's the shadow I can't defy
In my nightmare, I'm left to die.

He waits for the night to claim his prize
In my reflection, he hides his lies.
With every dream, he grows more bold
I'm losing control, my soul he holds.
He's not me, but I feel his rage
Locked in his grip, I'm trapped in his cage.
He walks in my shoes, but not by choice
I scream for help, but lose my voice.

I fall asleep, but he wakes up
Takes the reins, won't give them up.
He's the shadow I can't defy
In my nightmare, I'm left to die.

In the dead of night, I fight to wake
But he's stronger, a force I can't shake.
He whispers secrets I've never known
In this darkness, I'm overthrown.

Every breath I take, he's close behind
I see his face when I close my mind.
He moves my lips, he speaks my name
But nothing about him feels the same.
In the waking world, I'm split in two
A darker self that no one knew.
He's rising up, I'm sinking low
In this nightmare, I lose control.

I fall asleep, but he wakes up
Takes the reins, won't give them up.
He's the shadow I can't defy
In my nightmare, I'm left to die.

I reach for light, but he pulls me back
Every corner fades to black.
He's more than me, a beast unleashed
I beg for mercy, but he's not appeased.
I claw the walls, but they won't break
In this prison, I'm forced to wake.
I am him, and he is me
Two faces bound eternally.

I fall asleep, but he wakes up
Takes the reins, won't give them up.
He's the shadow I can't defy
In my nightmare, I'm left to die.

He wears my skin, but I'm not free
In his grip, I cease to be.
No escape, no end in sight
In his shadow, I fade to night.

In the darkness, I remain
A broken soul, bound by chains.
He walks in me, I walk in fear
In this nightmare, he's always near.
