This song is about facing and overcoming one’s fears. He’s having nightmares about them and eventually faces off his past demons.
[Intro]
All my dark dreams drift like smoke in the breeze
The fear grips me as I fall towards my sleep
Here comes the nightmare that never ends
Here is the dream that makes monsters of men
[Refrain]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
[Verse 1]
In the house of my soul
In rooms of ugliness and cold
Memories locked away
All the doubts and fears I never faced
Now they come again
I am falling down to meet with them
Fears within us all
Mine awake and they stand up tall
[Chorus]
Look for the truth
Deepest cut of all from you
Knife of the truth
Blade of hatred slicing through
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
[Verse 2]
I pray my sleep will break
Maybe this time, I won't wake
Weakness I hide so well
This dagger in my mind will tell
It's my final stand
I make a fist out of each hand
To shadows of the past
Take a breath and I scream, "Attack"
[Chorus]
Look for the truth
Deepest cut of all from you
Knife of the truth
Blade of hatred slicing through
Here is the truth
Deepest cut of all from you
Knife of the truth
Blade of hatred slicing through
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh yeah
[Instrumental Break: 3:30-4:26]
[Outro]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
