lyrics

[VERSE 1]
--Alìyara:
Awake again, the hundredth time tonight
The thousandth time this week
Did I have that dream again?
I focus, but the image disappears
Wiped clean from my head
It goes as quickly as it came

And everytime I close my eyes
There’s visions I'm visited by
Like someone's waiting here for me to drift..
I try to rest 'til the rising-sun
But I can't help but toss and turn
So why am I burdened with sleeplessness?

I try my best to forget, but still it haunts me..

[CHORUS]
--Yanà:
Little girl, oh don't you cry
Can't be hurt by what is not real
It's just another restless night
Interrupted by a dream
I know it's easy be scared
Of something that you can't quite see
But as you sleep sound in your bed
There's no monsters underneath

[VERSE 2]
--Alìyara:
I'm in a room and people shout outside
I hear them running, scared
For then the image starts to clear:
A face I've never seen but recognise
Followed by a flash of red
And then I lie awake in fear

--Yanà:
I'm worried by what she describes;
It sounds like what happened that night
When Róçtok killed her family
Since she's the secret that I've kept
Else Róçtok might come for her next
Is this what I've always feared would come?

Is what she says just a dream, or repressed memory?

{CHORUS}

[BRIDGE]
--Alìyara:
And maybe it's in my head
But why me? I have not sinned
Just what did I do to deserve this curse?
And though I ask what do they mean
There's no answers that I yield
Is something being kept from me?

…And still they haunt me...

{CHORUS}

[OUTRO]
Woah-oh woah-oh oh oh oh
Woah-oh woah-oh oh oh oh
Woah-oh woah-oh oh oh oh
Woah-oh woah-oh oh oh oh
Woah-oh woah-oh oh oh oh
Woah-oh woah-oh oh oh oh
Woah-oh woah-oh oh oh oh
Woah-oh woah-oh oh oh oh

Woah-oh woah-oh oh oh oh
Woah-oh woah-oh oh oh oh
Woah-oh woah-oh oh oh oh
Woah-oh woah-oh oh oh oh
Woah-oh woah-oh oh oh oh
Woah-oh woah-oh oh oh oh
Woah-oh woah-oh oh oh oh
Woah-oh woah-oh oh oh oh
