[Intro: wind + shutters banging + wolf howls in the distance, reversed piano] So much fog in my mind my inner demons plaguing me I can't tell if this is fiction or my true reality. Monsters in my closet shadows of creatures I can barely see is this my dream or is it really me. [Verse 1] I awoke cold sweat pouring from my face alone in the silence my fears are embraced laughing faces twisted heads with no face my legs are study running but my heart can't keep the pace my inner demons on the prowl what terror they may taste on the people of this city be fearful darkness waits. [Hook] All I see is eyes on me my nightmare has escaped my minds all foggy and I can't see are my terrors real or is it just me woke in my dreams from something I fear. [Verse 2] Voices in the distance arms pulling me in different directions screaming as me fears search for a connection to terrors real or imagined come for me only to escape into the world I see. Skeletons fighting from the ground all my burdens pulls me down into the darkness my fears surrounding me. [Hook] All I see is eyes on me my nightmare has escaped my minds all foggy and I can't see are my terrors real or is it just me woke in my dreams from something I fear. [Verse 3 - 808s mute briefly, triplet flow] City lights flicker, pavement crack beneath my feet, Every shadow got a name, every name know me, Mirrors don't reflect, just static and teeth, Whispers in the alley say "boy, you can't leave." Fog done left my mind, now it's in the street, All those closet monsters got concrete on their feet, If they was my demons, why they hunting me? If I made 'em up, why they know where I sleep? [Verse 4 - low octave, you become the nightmare] No more running, legs gave out, knees deep in the black, Heard my own voice laughing, but it wasn't coming back, Eyes in the dark ain't watching, they waiting to attack, Then they bowed, then they kneeled, then they called me that. I am the fog now, I am the howl in the distance, I am the reason shutters bang, no resistance, Took all my terrors, gave 'em my existence, If you fear the dark, baby, I'm your assistance. [Outro Hook - distorted + whisper double, 808 drop] All I see is eyes on me... they praying now My nightmare has escaped, but I wear the crown My mind's still foggy but now I can see... The terror was real, and it was me. [wind + wolf howl fade]
