Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All the lights go down as I crawl into the spaces
If I died on the screens
Life tearing at the seams
Way-yay-yay-yay-yay
I don't ever wanna be here
Like punching in a dream, breathing life into my nightmare
[Verse 2]
If it falls apart, I will surely wake it
Bright lights turn me clean
This is worse than it seems
Way-yay-yay-yay-yay
I don't ever wanna be here
Like punching in a dream, breathing life into my nightmare
[Verse 3]
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
[Verse 4]
They'll get through, they'll get you
In the place that you feel it the most
When you're cornered, when it's forming
In the place that you wish was a ghost
[Verse 5]
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
[Verse 6]
Way-yay-yay-yay-yay
I don't ever wanna be here
Like punching in a dream, breathing life into my nightmare
Way-yay-yay-yay-yay
I don't ever wanna be here
Like punching in a dream, breathing life into my nightmare
