The Night Inside Songtext
von Pressure Points

I never sleep on my back
But along these years I′ve lost track
Of the nights I've dreamed awake like this
It begins with silence
Then wailing doorsteps from the stairs
She′s here and I am scared to the core
Her twisted shadow-like shape
Slowly slithers across the floor
I cannot close my eyes
I cannot even scream
It's set inside my mind
Waves of pale hair
Float like grey water in the air
Tonight even the moon is dark
She's standing on my chest
I′m paralyzed under her breath
She smiles like a lion smiles to its prey
Her twisted shadow-like fingers
Upon my face slowly reaching for my neck
Her twisted shadow-like fingers


Slowly reaching for my neck
I cannot close my eyes
I cannot even scream
When she speaks to me
A burning sensation of cold
In my veins as I suddenly recognize her voice
And nothing could ever scare me more
Than those six words she once spoke
Why did you let me go?
Why did you let me go?
Why did you let me go?
Why did you let me go?
She opens the seal
And all those buried memories
Come rushing back to me
Her cold hand in my hand
When I found her lying there
Now it all opens in front of me
Can′t let the fear and blood on the floor
Only one bullet to paint the room
Pieces of glass, fragments of bones and my own
When she opened the black gates
I wonder if she knew
That her step into the night
Would drag me in with you
In a glimpse she is gone
And I cry for her your call in the sky
Every passing day
The guilt is growing deeper
Promises of learning to live without her
I really need this pain
More than I dare to confess
We'll meet again before her tears

How to explain
When the only one we miss is
The one who gave this soul
