Monsters hide inside my mind

They come to play when I can't sleep at night

Dark and twisted they stare at me

I pull the sheets over my head so that I can't see

Their glowing eyes which haunt me in my dreams
The vivid imagery of glowing eyes represents the haunting nature of these fears, even in dreams.
I'm paralyzed with fear and I can't scream
The fear is paralyzing, rendering the singer unable to react or express their distress.
but I'm so tired and they wont let me sleep
The exhaustion from the fear prevents the singer from getting rest despite being tired.
