Leo Wheatley - Night Terrors Lyrics

3 a.m. and I’m here again
The nocturnal nightmare has begun
Freezing, heavy breathing
Paranoia blocking out the sun

My mind’s dripping; I can’t take it anymore
I can hear a knocking but there’s no one at the door
Blood under my fingernails; say it isn’t true
I’m pretty sure the voices in my head tell me to

I’m having night terrors, night terrors, night terrors, baby, tonight
I’m having night terrors, night terrors, night terrors, baby, tonight

Psychosis, diagnosis, black eyes, skinny as a rake
What is this, sleep paralysis?
Body’s still, but my mind is awake

My heart’s skipping; I can’t take it anymore
I can hear somebody screaming underneath the floor
Blood over my dressing table, say it wasn’t me
Devil living in my soul, please just let me be

I’m having night terrors, (Every time) night terrors, (Tell me why) night terrors, baby, tonight
I’m having night terrors, (Everywhere) night terrors, (I don’t care) night terrors, baby, tonight

Sat bolt upright, what have I done?
I feel a cold steel blade and it’s under my thumb
I start to stroke his face and singing a song
But is this what I secretly wanted all along?

My heart’s skipping
My heart’s skipping

I’m having night terrors, (Every time) night terrors, (Tell me why) night terrors, baby, tonight
I’m having night terrors, (Everywhere) night terrors, (I don’t care) night terrors, baby, tonight
