Nightmares in the Dark

[Intro]  
In the shadows where whispers fade,  
Awake, the darkness invades,  
A flickering light in the corner of my mind,  
Chasing phantoms that I can't leave behind.  
[Verse 1]  
Beneath the silent screams of the night,  
Memories twist, shifting out of sight,  
Figures dance in the corner of my soul,  
Fragments of fear that take their toll.  
[Pre-Chorus]  
I reach for hope, but it slips away,  
Every shadow whispers what I dread to say.  
Between the dreams and where we stand,  
Lost in nightmares, no guiding hand.  
[Chorus]  
When the nightmares become real,  
I feel their claws, I know the deal,  
A haunting breath on my neck,  
In the silence, I can’t forget.  
When the nightmares become true,  
I lose my breath, and I lose you,  
Paralyzed by what I feel,  
In this darkness, can I heal?  
[Verse 2]  
Wandering through a maze of despair,  
Every corner turns, you’re never there,  
Echoes linger in the empty hall,  
I’m screaming out, but there's no call.  
[Pre-Chorus]  
I fight the monsters I cannot see,  
In this mirror, where they reside in me.  
Caught in the web of the fears I weave,  
Can’t escape, but I won’t believe.  
[Chorus]  
When the nightmares become real,  
I feel their claws, I know the deal,  
A haunting breath on my neck,  
In the silence, I can’t forget.  
When the nightmares become true,  
I lose my breath, and I lose you,  
Paralyzed by what I feel,  
In this darkness, can I heal?  
[Bridge]  
But through the shadows I will rise,  
A flicker of strength in my tired eyes,  
I’ll face the storm and take the wheel,  
Turning nightmares into something real.  
[Chorus]  
When the nightmares become real,  
I feel their claws, I know the deal,  
But still I stand, I’ve made it clear,  
I’ll take the fight, I won’t disappear.  
When the nightmares become true,  
I’ll find my path, and I’ll break through,  
Transcending fear, I can feel,  
In this darkness, I will heal.  
[Outro]  
So let the nightmares come and play,  
I’ll shine a light to guide my way,  
In the depths of night, oh can’t you see?  
These nightmares won’t define me.
