Sleep Paralysis Lyrics

My earliest memories

A detainee of my bedsheets

Trapped in the weight of this flesh prison

Mentally, in another dimension

Try to yell out for someone

But the words, they die on the tip of my tongue

A whisper goes unheard

Forced back to sleep, a prisoner

Shadow figures watch me sleep

Hold me down and I can't breathe

All the means of breaking free takes a toll on my sanity

Years of experience and research

Take control with all that I've learned

Out of body, destination

Astral realm exploration

Feels so far out of my reach with entities pulling at me

Feeling like a freak because I'm scared to sleep

Scared of what I'll see or that breathing will cease

I've seen the light, empty promises of guidance

My prayers met with goddamned silence

I've been betrayed by my own flesh and bones

Petrified and vulnerable

Paralyzed, I see glowing eyes

Even though I closed mine

I still see the figure as he stands over my bed, within my head

Leaves me overwhelmed with dread

Please take my neighbor instead

Clueless as to his true motives

Wake up, wake up, it's hopeless

Succubus sitting on my chest

Stalked by the hat man, no less

One hand free, I try to shake awake

But his gaze is restricting my breathing

So scared I might die in my sleep

Punch the alarm like it's just a bad dream

Punch the alarm like it's just a bad dream

Punch the alarm like it's just a bad dream
