VERSE 1:
Falling asleep
With eyes wide open
The Sandman comes to write on your mind.
Sensations numbing
Your heart is racing
Don't wake up now, it's pointless, don't try.
(He's coming now)
He's gonna get ya
Dropped on your feet in worlds so strange
You're running now!
You're getting nowhere!
How can you comprehend this physical state?
CHORUS:
He's right behind you now
Footsteps move faster now
He's getting closer now
He'll never reach you now.
You're never farther from
His fearful grip, his laughter
You'll always feel the same
That fear of getting nowhere!
You...you're getting where?
Not getting there
You're getting nowhere.
You...you're getting where?
Not getting there.
Nowhere.
VERSE2:
The endless space
is closing in
between your life and death, but they're never meeting.
It's aggravating
The terror's grating
It never ends, it's hopeless, defeating.
(You turn around)
To see your nightmare
To see his face, but it's not there.
You're running now!
You're getting nowhere!
How do you face the faceless man?
