[Verse 1]
Darkness strikes once again
I'm all alone, it feels like the end
He walks with me while I sleep
It's like a heart attack on a one way street
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't sleep tonight
'Cause I gotta run, gotta hide
[Chorus]
And I'm running
Running from this nightmare
I turn around, but there's no one there
And I'm running
Running from this nightmare (running)
Running from this nightmare
[Verse 2]
One way out, not this time
I've seen you before inside my mind
My heart beats faster with every step
I'm not afraid of you, you haven't gotten me yet
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't sleep tonight
'Cause I gotta run, gotta hide
[Chorus]
And I'm running
Running from this nightmare
I turn around, but there's no one there
And I'm running
Running from this nightmare (running)
Running from this nightmare
