Lyrics

Punching in a Dream (Stripped)

All the lights go down as I crawl into the spaces
Fight, flight, or the screams
Life tearing at the seams

Wait, I don't ever wanna be here
Like punching in a dream
Breathing life into my nightmare

If it falls apart, I will surely waken
Bright lights turn me green
This is worse than it seems

Wait, I don't ever wanna be here
Like punching in a dream
Breathing life into my nightmare

They'll get you, they'll get through
In the place that you fear it the most
In the corner where it's warmer
In the face that you wish, was a ghost

Wait, I don't ever wanna be here
Like punching in a dream
Breathing life into my nightmare

Wait, I don't ever wanna be here
Like punching in a dream
Breathing life into my nightmare
