Lyrics to Night Terrors

[Verse 1]

Burn it down and forget

What I would try to hide so incessantly, but I just can't find release

For all the pain in my heart and the ache, it causes me while I bleed

Out for the people who've forgotten me, it's time to say what rests on my mind

Ever since I fell to pieces, I've never felt so alive



[Chorus]

Now I find you there staring at the edge of the sun

You try to get to safety, but you're losing light



[Verse 2]

This is a force I know I can't fight

'Cause even getting knocked out couldn't make me sleep tonight

I hope you scream when you hear my name

There's no place on this earth that you can escape

I hope you're lost and you never find peace

This is the weight of the world, and I won't

I'll never let this crash on me

Eternal suffering awaits

You're just another soul to steal

Just because I cannot breathe

Doesn't mean I can't feel



[Chorus]

Now I find you there staring at the edge of the sun

You try to get to safety, but you're losing light



[Breakdown]

So you try not to make a sound, no one's saving you now

We'll burn it to the ground

We'll fucking burn it down

Don't leave a trace of evil left in this house

Burn it down, burn it down, fucking burn it down

Don't leave a trace of evil left in this house, burn

It's the only way, burn it down and hope for peace

If I ignite it, maybe death will finally save me

The pain of being all alone, of lessons never learned

Of the constant burning, pain of always chasing things I don't deserve

Don't go looking when you know what's there

I promise there's no way to prepare



[Bridge]

But still I wait to fix this other part of me

And there's no way that I can breathe without release

Please, let me sleep

I'm still haunted in my dreams

And everything I've ever come to love has left me

'Cause not a thing in this world is what it seems

I wanna know why you don't want me



[Verse 3]

I beg you to find me

I'm haunted by the screaming in the night

A fear that drives me to resent my name

I put these walls to shame

I toss and turn, but there's no peace of mind

There's no diffusing this eternal hate

We'll burn it down in flames



[Outro]

Ignite, we'll fucking burn it down

Don't leave a trace of evil left in this house

Burn it down, burn it down, fucking burn it down

Don't leave a trace of evil left in this house
