Fading lights

Fading lights
I don't close my eyes
Back into the night
I wish that I could fly

I don't know why it's getting quiet all around me and I wonder
Where the noises have gone but the voice in my head is getting stronger
It won't go
No, it won't go
It's telling lies
Oh, and it sighs
Just to remind me that these
Fading lights take me one step further
I don't close my eyes
Back into the night
Oh how I wish now that I could fly

There's a hound behind me I can feel he's observing every move I make
I can hear him growling he will get me with the very first step I take
Don't move
Please, don't move
It's one of these dreams
It's not what it seems
It's just to remind me that these
Fading lights...

A touch on my face like a soft summer breeze, no one's around here
A ghost is playing with me I can hear his laughter I can hear his sneer
Don't talk
Please, don't talk
He goes on
On and on
Just to remind me that these
Fading lights...
