Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Worn down, wearing thin
Hellish dreams, tormenting scenes
Shadows looming
[PreChorus]
I'm paralyzed, can't move
Scared and confused
[Chorus]
If I
If I could bend the clock
The passageway of time
Leave it all behind
[Chorus]
No more
No more paralyzing dreams
The midnight screams
Always haunting me
But I sink deeper each day
[Verse 2]
Cold, hallowed place
Dark shadows
Vast, haunting landscapes
In a frantic state
Tired of feeling lost
Alone and out of place
[Verse 3]
This circle I can't break
Every night, lie comatose
But wide awake
[PreChorus]
I'm paralyzed again
Darkness creeping in
[Chorus]
If I
If I could bend the clock
The passageway of time
Leave it all behind
[Chorus]
No more
No more paralyzing dreams
The midnight screams
Always haunting me
But I sink further today
[Bridge]
The witching hour begins
Can't escape, I find myself again
Prisoner in the end
Sinking further than I've ever been
[Chorus]
And if I
If I could bend the clock
The passageway of time
A better place, I'd find
[Chorus]
And no more
No more paralyzing dreams
The midnight screams
Break this hold on me
But I can't get away
Can't find my way
Sinking further every day
