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
