[Verse 1] [Melancholic acoustic, storytelling vocals] Lie in bed and enter the night Sleep won't come try as you might That's when it comes, it's all panic and dread You can feel in your heart that it wishes you dead [Verse 2] How does it come to be right in my room I feel it every night as the darkness looms Spreading like a serpent it wraps around my thigh A head pops up and stares me in the eye [Chorus] You need to escape but you are frozen in time It's not there, no it's not … this is all in my mind Yet the fear turns to terror as it starts to approach There's tightness in your throat and you start to choke [Verse 3] Get up and run I say to myself Yet I sit right there like a book on a shelf Why can't I move just to get away It holds me right there, and it wants to stay [Verse 4] So much more than a sense Before it comes I feel my body tense I don't know what it puts in my ear I can't hear the words, all I feel is fear [Chorus] You need to escape but you are frozen in time It's not there, no it's not … this is all in my mind Yet the fear turns to terror as it starts to approach There's tightness in your throat and you start to choke [Bridge] Gasping for air as it pulls me in Yet the worst of all is about to begin I hope and I pray this chill just stays The nightmare to come is just a horror maze [Guitar Solo] [Outro] If I make it through the night, it’s just another Zombie day The sun is coming up but the shadow still wants to play Yeah, I made it through the night Just another Zombie day... Another Zombie day... [End] [Acoustic guitar chord ring out, fade to silence]
