Glitch Lyrics
Close your eyes
Let your mind submerge
Are you ready?
Three, two, one
[Verse 1]
I feel a glitch in the cortex
Like a ghost in the shell
Caught the devil playing mind tricks
I feel the dread close in like the walls of a cell
[Refrain]
I cannot sleep, I cannot hide, I cannot take
One more night on the dark side of my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
I close my eyes to sleep, the shadows speak
And they won't stop when I'm awake
[Chorus]
Everything they say would seem
Feeds the fear inside of me
Lеt it feed the fear inside
Hеlp me take this pain away
Sleep is now my enemy
Now it feeds the fear inside of me
The fear inside of me
[Verse 2]
The fear hit like a shell shock
Body froze like my heart stopped
REM waves got my limbs locked down but my eyes wide open
Sheer terror manifest before me
[Refrain]
I cannot sleep, I cannot hide, I cannot take
Living this way on the dark side of my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
I close my eyes to sleep, the shadows speak
And they won't stop when I'm awake
[Chorus]
Everything they say would seem
Feeds the fear inside of me
Let it feed the fear inside
Help me take this pain away
Sleep is now my enemy
Now it feeds the fear inside of me
[Bridge]
I close my eyes to sleep (Sleep paralysis)
Let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out, let me out
Let me the fuck out
Let me the fuck out
Everything they say would seem
Feeds the fear inside of me
Let it feed the fear inside
Help me take this pain away
Sleep is now my enemy
Now it feeds the fear inside of me
[Post-Chorus]
It's the fear inside of me (Me)
[Refrain]
I cannot sleep, I cannot hide, I cannot take
One more night on the dark side of my mind

From a statement issued by the band, this song was written about:
the things that our minds experience when we are not awake, but not yet asleep … Lyrically, the song deals with the phenomenon of night terrors and sleep paralysis. We all know the power our minds possess, but true terror manifests when your mind and all its fears takes physical control of your body – the glitch in your brain, where nightmares and reality cross.
