Intro “I don't wanna fall asleep…” “Why?” “…Because sleep paralysis again.” Hook Sleep paralysis again, I am trapped in my bed My head thinks my best friends are evil again Zanai standing there with them red eyes again Normal dark brown, but tonight they ain't the same Yeah, yeah, I woke up, saw her face in my face again Every time I get happy, here we go again Yeah, yeah, and you swear up and down you're not a simp Tossing and turning every night, can't sleep Just thinking 'bout everything and about my liiiiiife Verse 1 In real life, Zanai the nicest girl I ever met Prettiest smile, perfect personality, no regrets Dark brown eyes, yeah, they look just like mine Every time she looks my way, I swear I lose my mind But inside my sleep, everything changes Same beautiful face, but something feels dangerous Her eyes turn red, but she still looks amazing Like my mind turned her into an angel with devil horns She gets closer, but I can't move at all I'm staring at her while I'm stuck inside these walls She's even more perfect, even prettier somehow But something about her got me terrified now She don't gotta say a word, I already know It's like my own mind put on a perfect show The girl that I adore turned into something strange And I wake up wondering why my dreams gotta change Hook Sleep paralysis again, I am trapped in my bed My head thinks my best friends are evil again Zanai standing there with them red eyes again Normal dark brown, but tonight they ain't the same Yeah, yeah, I woke up, saw her face in my face again Every time I get happy, here we go again Yeah, yeah, and you swear up and down you're not a simp Tossing and turning every night, can't sleep Just thinking 'bout everything and about my liiiiiife Verse 2 Why my brain gotta turn love into a nightmare? Take somebody beautiful and put fear in the air She ain't evil, I know that's just my mind But when I'm dreaming, everything gets redesigned Red eyes glowing while she's standing in the room Whole place silent, like the world stopped too And I wanna wake up, but I can't break through Then I hear my own thoughts getting louder in the room I close my eyes, hoping when I open they're gone Count every second while I'm waiting for the dawn Then sunlight hits and suddenly I'm free And Zanai's just Zanai, looking normal to me Dark brown eyes, same girl that I knew Nothing like the nightmare that my mind put me through Maybe sleep paralysis ain't really about her Maybe it's my fears taking somebody I love and making them darker Bridge Red eyes… red eyes… But I know that's not you Same face… same smile… But my mind changed the view I know you're not evil I know that's just a dream But when I'm stuck inside it It's the realest thing I've seen Verse 3 Another night, I'm laying down, staring at the ceiling Trying to fall asleep, but I don't like what I'm feeling Heartbeat getting faster, thoughts running wild Then I see those red eyes and that familiar smile Can't move my hands, can't move my feet Zanai in the doorway and she's staring at me She's beautiful as ever, but the room feels cold My mind telling stories that I don't wanna know Then I blink and everything starts fading away Morning hits the window, it's a brand-new day I see her in real life and I'm laughing again Dark brown eyes, same Zanai, my friend So I gotta remind myself when the nightmare begins The girl in my dream ain't the girl that she is It's just sleep paralysis playing tricks on my head Turning someone I care about into something I'm scared of instead Final Hook Sleep paralysis again, I am trapped in my bed But I know the things I see ain't always what they said Zanai standing there with them red eyes again Then I wake up and she's herself again Yeah, yeah, dark brown eyes when I see her in the day The nicest girl I know, yeah, that's never gonna change Yeah, yeah, and you swear up and down you're not a simp Tossing and turning, but I'm finally getting sleep No more letting nightmares mess with my liiiiiife Outro “I don't wanna fall asleep..." “…Actually… maybe I can"
