lyrics

“The Parasomniac”
(Lyrics & Music: C. Carlino, B. Almeida)

Tonight won’t be like the others...
Blood runs cold beneath the covers.
Evil lives in the heart of the night.
We’ve come to exacerbate fright...

Wide-Eyed: pupils dilating.
The Parasomniac is crazy.
Is this real? Or am I dreaming?
Kick and scream: Blackheart’s encroaching...

Pre-Chorus:
And now your mind is racing.
The terror is approaching.
Your primal fear awakens,
Yet you cannot wake up.
Master of your dreams,
Pulls the puppet strings.
Twitching & Tingling you pray for light.

Chorus:
I’m afraid to close my eyes.
I know what my mind will open.
I know that I need slumber.
But I must stay awake much longer...

In silhouette, the faceless crawl.
Closer and closer comes their call.
Every night, deprivation tolls.
One day, I won’t wake up at all...

(Repeat Pre-Chorus)
(Repeat Chorus)

For many, sleep is fraught with visions worse than nightmares.
Demons walk among us in the land of dreams...

(Solo: B. Almeida)

(Repeat Pre-Chorus)
(Repeat Chorus)

Let me lay here a little longer...
Let me lay here a little longer...
