I see shapes
Moving with the shadows on the wall
In places only creatures like to crawl
I lay awake, I'm sleepless
And they say my name
They’re playing games

And I can see all of the figures come alive
Watch 'em dancing through the hallway and their eyes
Are showing me reflections
Of my darker side
I think I'm fine
Sleep walking to a rhythm
Trying not to freak out!

I'm paralyzed
Hypnotized
Numb inside
Lost up in my thoughts
Got nowhere to hide
I'm paranoid
In the void
Stuck up in the dark
And now you've seen inside
Will I make it out alive?

Welcome to the twisted circus in my mind
Ain't it strange
The way we sit and smile through the pain
Slowly going crazy in our brains
An empty room ain't lonely
Got friends with me
They came to play
I believe
Reality it really ain't for me
So maybe we rename insanity
To a place far away I'd rather be
Rather be!

Sleepwalking to a rhythm
Trying not to freak out!

I'm paralyzed
Hypnotized
Numb inside
Lost up in my thoughts
Got nowhere to hide
I'm paranoid
In the void
Stuck up in the dark
And now you've seen inside
Will I make it out alive?

Welcome to the twisted circus in my mind
Paralyzed
Hypnotized
Numb inside
Lost up in my thoughts
Got nowhere to hide
I'm paranoid
In the void
Stuck up in the dark
And now you’ve seen inside
Will I make it out alive?

It's anything but ordinary
It gets a little scary
It's wonderful unusual
But darker the valley
So strap yourselves inside
I'm gonna take you for a ride
And welcome to the twisted circus in my mind!
