Eric Styrcula - Sleep Paralysis Lyrics

Long day, I crawl into bed
My body's asleep but I'm awake in my head
Awake in the city that never sleeps
Looking for, but can't find my sheep
Eyes wide open staring at the ceiling
Shadows gather so unforgiving
Hostile thoughts invade my mind
Nowhere to run now, nowhere to hide
My mind starts spinning like a hamster in a cage
Bringing back all of my demons, highlighting all of my damn mistakes
I'm thinking about all of my choices and all the times that I've been wrong
Wishing I knew what I know now but I wish I'd known all along
Instrumental
Tossing and turning between my sheets
Clock is ticking, doesn't skip a beat
Sirens wailing in the distance
Starting to ponder my own existence
My mind starts spinning like a hamster in a cage
Bringing back all of my demons, highlighting all of my damn mistakes
I'm thinking about all of my choices and all the times that I've been wrong
Wishing I knew what I know now but I wish I'd known all along
Oh, I wish I'd known
Oh, I wish I'd known
Oh, I wish I'd known oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, lord
As I lay awake, alone in the city my mind it races, it's too damn busy
Reminiscing about when I was younger
Trying to pinpoint the source of my hunger
This constant obsession to be the best me
Ultimately will lead to the death of me
Twenty years is too long to forecast
But when did time start moving so fast
The hour hand moves like a second
But when did time start feeling relevant
Ever since I made it to my twenties
My youth became just a box of memories
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
