lyrics

At night I close my eyes
To drift off in a dream waiting for me
I relax, I breathe deeply
But I never make it there
I slip in, to the in-between
To the unseen

They creep in at night
I can't move, I can't speak, I can't fight
They speak in crowded radio waves
Static, a chainsaw in my brain
I think I'll never make it out
He's gonna keep me here

In the dark
I'm paralyzed
And there's something
Rattling in my mind
I'm terrified, by these ghosts in the night
Oh and they're keeping me here in the other side
In the in-between

And when the day breaks
I feel Illuminated
Was it a haunt or was it a visit?
We tend to turn to the darkest points of our lives
But look another way
And you'll see the light

In the dark I'm paralyzed
And they're after me and they're in my mind
I'm terrified by these ghosts in the night
Oh and they're keeping me here in the other side
In the Dark

In the Dark
She lay beside
My green lady in the night
She's electric fire
A waterfall of cascading light
And she's my friend, she's telling me it's alright
In the dark
