Paralyzed

sleep
sleep
sleep
sleep
in the
dark
dark 
dark 
dark
no light 
no sound 
until 
the monsters growl
they wake up when I wake up
they approach me
when my body is asleep
I find their shadows 
they look at me
I open my eyes 
turns out 
I'm still alive
tonight wasn't the night
heart stops racing
I'm going to be all right
