[Verse 1] Room is quiet Clock clicks louder than my breath Ceiling crawling Shadows bend above the bed Eyes wide open But the dark still pins me down Hear a whisper Tastes like metal in my mouth [Pre-Chorus] I buried what I did under concrete jungle Thought the years would eat it whole [Chorus] Night Terror, You know my name welcome my old friend Crawling through my skin i know this time you wont forgive Night terror, don’t take me under I’m drowning in my own darkness Eyes wide open, trapped in fear Is it gone or still right here? [Verse 2] Door knob rattles Though I know I locked it twice Footsteps pacing On the carpet Slow and light See his outline Where the hallway meets my shame Eyes like searchlights Digging up my buried blame [Pre-Chorus] I hear what I once said in a stranger’s cold voice “This is over Walk away” like I had no choice [Chorus] Now the night comes to collect the thing I did Crawling through the keyhole like a curse I hid Hands around my throat But it’s all in my head Still I feel every finger Every word I left unsaid Night terror knows my name It won’t forgive ’Cause the past ain’t past And the dark won’t let me live [Bridge] Is it him Is it me Is it something in-between? Every time I fall asleep I replay that scene If I speak Will it stop Or just sharpen its teeth? (oh) I see what I became And it’s staring back at me [Chorus] Night Terror, You know my name welcome my old friend Crawling through my skin i know this time you wont forgive Night terror, don’t take me under I’m drowning in my own darkness Eyes wide open, trapped in fear Is it gone or still right here?
