Is this real or do my eyes deceive?

The things I see just should not be

I tell myself not to believe

This visual insanity

Twisted things

Beckoning

Weakening

My reasoning

In the corners of my sight, things begin to shift

But when I turn my head, the illusion disappears

Is there another world showing through a rift?

One with things that prey upon our fears?

Are they optical illusions?

Or a strange reality?

Severe mental delusions?

What is happening to me?

Advancing from thе edge of sight and slowly taking form

What was once unthinkablе has now become the norm

[Chorus]

(Shifting)

The shadows come alive

(Changing)

Right before my eyes

No more question, it's completely real

Confusion and terror's all I feel

This new reality has truly taken hold

Two dimensions melding into one

The veil has been torn and the horrors now unfold

Should I take them on or turn around and run?

Terrified and yet I cannot turn away

What's the point there's nowhere I can hide

I brace myself and stumble out into the fray

Using every ounce of strength, I have inside

[Chorus]

(Shifting)

The shadows come alive

(Changing)

Right before my eyes

Stare them down

Face to face

Hold my ground

Standing strong

Use my will

Take them on

They retreat

From my might

I have them beat

Reality was altered by my mind

Convincing me that what I saw was real

Psychosis is a blurry line

Making madness all I feel

[Chorus]

(Shifting)

The shadows come alive

(Changing)

Right before my eyes
