All the lights go down as I crawl into the spaces If I died on the screens Life tearing at the seams Way-yay-yay-yay-yay I don't ever wanna be here Like punching in a dream breathing life into my nightmare If it falls apart I would surely wake it Bright lights turn me clean This is worse than it seems Way-yay-yay-yay-yay I don't ever wanna be here Like punching in a dream breathing life into my nightmare They'll get through They'll get you In the place that you feel it the most When you're cornered When it's forming In the place that you wish was a ghost Whoa Whoa Whoa, whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa, whoa Way-yay-yay-yay-yay I don't ever wanna be here Like punching in a dream breathing life into my nightmare Way-yay-yay-yay-yay I don't ever wanna be here Like punching in a dream breathing life into my nightmare
