Terrors in the night
[Verse 1]
You were so impatient
I could never take it
No alleviation
So inebriated
Woke up in a basement
Eyes were dilated
I would try to fake it
(Hold on)
That’s an anodyne abrasive
And you tried to make it
(So strong)
A story that nobody knew
[Chorus]
I can’t survive
In black seas beneath my eyes
Terrors in the night
Bad dreams I can’t describe
For fear that they would rise and manifest themselves
A dying man who's left for hell to find
I grieve him every time
I see terrors in the night
[Refrain]
Terrors in the night
Terrors in the night
Terrors in the night
Terrors in the night
[Verse 2]
Thirty-five years later
ICU inpatient
Hooked to respirators
They can hardly take it
I’m debilitated
I’m the source of hatred
I’m the one who made their
(Lives this way)
Twisted kinda fate that
I would find the same
(Demise and decay)
Into someone that nobody knew
A nightmare I fear will come true
[Chorus]
I can’t survive
In black seas beneath my eyes
Terrors in the night
Bad dreams I can’t describe
For fear that they would rise and manifest themselves
A dying man who's left for hell to find
I grieve him every time
I see terrors in the night
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Chorus]
I can’t survive
In black seas beneath my eyes
Terrors in the night
Bad dreams I can’t describe
For fear that they would rise and manifest themselves
A dying man who's left for hell to find
I grieve him every time
I see terrors in the night
Terrors in the night
[Outro]
(Terrors in the night)
Horrible screams at the bottom of seas in your eyes
(Terrors in the night)
Terrible scenes that repent any beacons of light
(Terrors in the night)
Memories beaten to death by the demons inside
(Terrors in the night)
It’s sink or survive
Terrors in the night
