my mind is filled with fear as I can't move
there's this heavy feeling I can't remove
my eyes are awake, yet my body's numb
I have no idea where this came from
I have to decide in a brave moment
which imagination's worse punishment
is it the darkness of my room at night
or my mind's creations I can't quite fight
I choose to close my eyes. I don't know why
the sound is deafening. just say goodbye
I open my eyes, a bit more freely
my nerves connect with my brain more clearly
I'm awake

Note: I was going to find a picture of a sleep paralysis demon but it's 2 am and I'm too creeped out so just imagine there's a picture of one.
