Shake Me Awake
When I was a kid I was paranoid
'Cause I was convinced ghosts were real
Every single night I would swear the void
Was too close to feel
Now it's so surreal
Suddenly I'm back in my younger days
Thinking that these monsters exist
I can tell they're vicious and hunger-crazed
Starved and ravenous
I've been having this
Nightmare
All of my demons are right there
And frankly it's making me quite scared
I don't know which way to run
Shake me awake, shake me awake
Take me away to a place that's not fake
Shake me awake, shake me awake
Save me I pray, let me make an escape
Once upon a time dreams were marvelous
Now I wanna run off and hide
Feeling too secure is an artifice
I can't get beside
I'm too petrified
Right in front of me is my darkest fear
I cannot escape the abyss
I can't even move 'Cause the shark is here
And we're captain-less
I've been trapped in this
I'm so terrified, losing air supply
Send a prayer to guide me where to hide, cross my heart and swear to die
Beware the eyes, They stare like spies when they're disguised
I'm so scared, surprised and paralyzed
So is anyone around to help me get back to reality
I've been screaming, dreaming of a demon scheming up brutality
The core of the mission
Is war of attrition
I'm running and running
But something is coming
And I'm slowly running out of time
'Cause I was convinced ghosts were real
Every single night I would swear the void
Was too close to feel
Now it's so surreal
Suddenly I'm back in my younger days
Thinking that these monsters exist
I can tell they're vicious and hunger-crazed
Starved and ravenous
I've been having this
Nightmare
All of my demons are right there
And frankly it's making me quite scared
I don't know which way to run
Shake me awake, shake me awake
Take me away to a place that's not fake
Shake me awake, shake me awake
Save me I pray, let me make an escape
Once upon a time dreams were marvelous
Now I wanna run off and hide
Feeling too secure is an artifice
I can't get beside
I'm too petrified
Right in front of me is my darkest fear
I cannot escape the abyss
I can't even move 'Cause the shark is here
And we're captain-less
I've been trapped in this
I'm so terrified, losing air supply
Send a prayer to guide me where to hide, cross my heart and swear to die
Beware the eyes, They stare like spies when they're disguised
I'm so scared, surprised and paralyzed
So is anyone around to help me get back to reality
I've been screaming, dreaming of a demon scheming up brutality
The core of the mission
Is war of attrition
I'm running and running
But something is coming
And I'm slowly running out of time
