I am your nightmares, true scares That dream when you can't stop from falling Can't fight, can't run Can't stop the person you've become I am your heartbreaks, mistakes That place inside your hate I am that shadow following every move, reminding you That it's never good enough, never good enough Even though you'll try and try I'm gonna call your bluff Because I am the thing bringing the feelings when Your world comes crashing around you Smashes down around you When will you see that you cannot hide from me? When you feel darkness, hopeless Can't cope with all the stress I'll make you hate life bring strife Remember failures hardened stare And it's never gonna change, never gonna change Always they'll be judging you Compared to who and who You trust in me but I only live to see Your world come crashing around you Smash down around you When will you see that you cannot hide from me? When I come for you When I see through you When I eat through you When I destroy you You'll think you're betrayed, astray I'll leave you ripped and torn so bad you Can't trust, can't love Can't understand why life's so fucked I'm deep inside your mind In constant remind If you leave your thoughts to me, believe I'll make sure that I see Your world come crashing around you Smash down around you When will you see that you cannot hide from me? I'll make your world come crashing around you Smash down around you I'll let you see why cannot hide from me Because I am you
