[Verse 1: Cristina Scabbia]
Hold my hands
I swear I cannot comprehend
I'm trapped in an eerie space, unmoving
Why do I feel I'm aware in unconciousness
As I carry the shadow with me?
[Chorus: Cristina Scabbia, Cristina Scabbia & Andrea Ferro]
Come with me
In my sleep paralysis
With me
In my sleep paralysis
[Verse 2: Cristina Scabbia]
Impending doom
Turning sleep into a battleground
I know it's untrue
But it's feeling so tangible (Isn't real)
I don't think I can cope anymore
(Breathe)
[Chorus: Cristina Scabbia, Cristina Scabbia & Andrea Ferro]
Come with me
In my sleep paralysis
With me
In my sleep paralysis
[Bridge: Andrea Ferro]
I cannot move and I cannot scream
I roll my eyes, it's hard to breathe
I'm lost
Can't find a way out of this
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus: Cristina Scabbia, Cristina Scabbia & Andrea Ferro]
Come with me
In my sleep paralysis
With me
In my sleep paralysis
[Outro: Andrea Ferro]
I cannot move and I cannot scream
I roll my eyes, it's hard to breathe
I'm lost
Can't find a way out of this
My nightmare blends with reality
I'm stuck in a loop of anxiety
Burned out
I'm consumed alive

Andrea Ferro:
This is coming from a personal experience of real sleep paralysis that Cristina had, but in the song, we play with that idea a little bit. When you have sleep paralysis, you are scared because you’re awake, but you can’t control your body. Sometimes, we feel we need to regain control...
