[Intro] [Dreamlike Synths] [Low, Raspy Male Vocal] Close your eyes... I'll see you soon. [Malicious Male Chuckle] Heh... heh... [Verse 1] You fought the sleep all night You kept the television on You told yourself you'd be alright If you could just stay awake until dawn But your eyes are getting heavy And you're losing the fight You can feel yourself drifting Into my world tonight [Male Group Harmony] Don't fall asleep Don't fall asleep [Verse 2] Now you're walking down a hallway That you've never seen before Every door is locked behind you Every window has no door You hear my footsteps coming But you don't see where I am Then you hear my voice behind you And you know exactly who I am [Male Group Harmony] You know who I am [Pre-Chorus] You can hide beneath the covers [Male Group Harmony] Hide beneath the covers You can pray that I'll disappear [Male Group Harmony] I'll disappear But every time you close your eyes I'm already here [Malicious Male Chuckle] Heh... heh... [Chorus] Close your eyes I'll be waiting on the other side You can run all night But you can't escape your dreams tonight Close your eyes There's nowhere you can hide You can fight the night But you'll be mine when you close your eyes [Male Group Harmonies] Close your eyes Close your eyes [Verse 3] You found a door in the darkness You thought you finally found a way But when you reached for the handle You heard me laugh and say "Where do you think you're going?" You turn around and see That the nightmare you've been running from Is standing right beside you [Male Group Harmony] Right beside you [Pre-Chorus] You can hide beneath the covers [Male Group Harmony] Hide beneath the covers You can pray that I'll disappear [Male Group Harmony] I'll disappear But every time you close your eyes I'm already here [Malicious Male Chuckle] Heh... heh... [Chorus] Close your eyes I'll be waiting on the other side You can run all night But you can't escape your dreams tonight Close your eyes There's nowhere you can hide You can fight the night But you'll be mine when you close your eyes [Male Group Harmonies] Close your eyes Close your eyes [Bridge] [Music Drops] [Low, Raspy Male Vocal] You can't wake up If I don't let you You can't escape What you don't wake from [Male Group Harmony] Don't wake up Every nightmare Has a face And every dream Becomes my place [Male Group Harmony] Becomes my place [Malicious Male Chuckle] Heh... Heh-heh... [Breakdown] [Quiet Male Vocal] Go ahead... Close your eyes. [Male Group Whisper] Close your eyes... You know you want to. [Male Group Whisper] Close your eyes... I'll be waiting. [Malicious Male Chuckle] Heh... heh... [Final Chorus] [Full Male Group Harmonies] Close your eyes I'll be waiting on the other side You can run all night But you can't escape your dreams tonight Close your eyes There's nowhere you can hide You can fight the night But you'll be mine when you close your eyes Close your eyes You know I'll find you there [Male Group Harmonies] Close your eyes Close your eyes Every dream becomes a nightmare When I'm waiting in the dark [Outro] [Dreamy Synths Fade] [Malicious Male Chuckle] Heh... heh... [Low, Raspy Male Whisper] Sweet dreams.
