I’m awake but I can’t move and all I feel is fear
My eyes are open, my chest is tight, I can sense it drawing near
A dark presence in my room, why it comes is not quite clear
Suddenly on the edge of my vision a shadow appears
Paralyzed, or am I dreaming? All I know is it’s coming for me
Can’t escape, can’t cry for help, all I can do is let it come for me
It visits me too frequently, always arrives when I’m sleeping
Nothing but dread inside my head, there can be no escaping
It has no voice, it has no form, at least none that I’ve seen
I know it’s there by a change in the air, this miserable being
Paralyzed, or am I dreaming? All I know is it’s coming for me
Can’t escape, can’t cry for help, all I can do is let it come for me
