Paralysis

[Intro]
(l wanna go to sleep, but I never will)
(l wanna go to sleep, but I never will)
(l wanna go to sleep, but I never will)
(l wanna go to sleep, but I never will)

[Verse 1]
Oh, I wanna take control of my body
But I don't know where to start
(I’m) I'm wide awake
'Cause a bad dream’s never that far away
And I can't escape
The hell I'm in, hell I'm in, hell I'm in

[Pre-Chorus]
Am I cursed or overtired?
Gets worse when I close my eyes
I've never been to church
But I'll pray this time
Demon of the night
Don't keep me paralyzed

[Chorus]
I feel the devil’s weight holdin’ me down
I'm tryin’ to speak
I need you to hear me now
I keep reachin' out
I'm somewhere between
The real world and make-believe

[Post-Chorus]
(l wanna go to sleep, but I never will)
(l wanna go to sleep, but I never will)
(l wanna go to sleep, but I never will)
(l wanna go to sleep, but I never will)

[Verse 2]
I made a bad mistake
For lettin' myself drift far away
If I sin then heaven won’t
Let me in, let me in, let me in

[Pre-Chorus]
If don't try and resist
I'll lie in the abyss and hope to die
So I can't give in
This is what it's like with my paralysis

[Chorus]
I feel the devil's weight holdin' me down
I'm tryin' to speak
I need you to hear me now
I keep reachin' out
I'm somewhere between
The real world and make-believe

[Post-Chorus]
(l wanna go to sleep, but I never will)
(l wanna go to sleep, but I never will)
(l wanna go to sleep, but I never will)
(l wanna go to sleep, but I never—)

[Bridge]
I'm wide awake
'Cause a bad dream is never that far away, no
And I can't escape the hell I'm in, no, no
I made a bad mistake
For letting myself drift far away, no
If I pray, will it end?
Will someone tell me will break before then?

[Interlude]
(l wanna go to sleep, but I never will)
(l wanna go to sleep, but I never will)

[Interlude]
Some people even describe hearing
Footsteps getting closer
Seeing intruders, demons or spirits
And feeling as if they are about to die

[Breakdown]
I feel the devil's weight holdin' me down
I'm tryin' to speak
I need you to hear me now
I keep reachin' out
I'm somewhere between
The real world and make-believe
(l wanna go to sleep, but I never will)

[Chorus]
I feel the devil's weight holdin' me down (Ooh)
I'm tryin' to speak
I need you to hear me now
I keep reachin' out
I'm somewhere between
The real world and make-believe
