I'm in the hallway on the floor.
I cannot stand the Dark no more.
Oh, I'm lighting candles everywhere,
I try to keep the darkness out of here.
Inside my mind, nightmares are turning real.
Oh! Inside my mind, I can't control how I feel.
Now I'm on the second floor. I cannot stand the Dark no more.
Still, I'm lighting candles everywhere.
I try to stay awake out of fear.
Inside my mind, nightmares are turning real.
Oh! Inside my mind, I can't control how I feel....
...or what is real.
For the pictures in red, they are still in my head.
How can I believe in all the things I see.
When there's a Floating Head outside watching me.
-solo: Mike Wead-
The Floating Head has disappeared
I got to get some water in my face.
I turn towards the mirror on the wall.
The little sink is filling up, the water's cold.
Inside my mind, nightmares are turning real.
Oh! Inside my mind, I can't control how I feel...
...or what is real.
For behind me is the wrinkled head of a woman who's dead.
No body, just a head. Strong hands around my neck.
Forcing me under water... I'm drowning!
Ah... Ah... Ah... I got to breathe.
Ah... Ah... Ah... Got to break free.
-solo: Andy LaRocque-
Inside my mind, nightmares are turning real.
Oh! Inside my mind, I can't control how I feel...
...or what is real.
