lyrics

NIGHTMARE

Darkness takes over me
I close my eyes but I can still see
My nightmare manifesting
He's in my room and I can't sleep
Wide awake he takes control
What he wants I don't know
Staring deep inside my soul
It's getting darker it's getting cold

There’s a devil at my bedside
He watches as I sleep
Sometimes I catch him staring
Sometimes he’s in my sheets
There’s a devil at my bedside
I can see it in his eyes
He doesn’t want my soul
He wants me to die

Chorus
A nightmare (a nightmare) to me
I'm blinded by the curse that haunts my dreams
A nightmare (a nightmare) to me
I'm blinded by your sweet haunting melody

Cast my sins aside you'll see
The devil staring back at me
Into a pit of darkness he leads
Death is the only certainty

There’s a devil at my bedside
He watches as I sleep
Sometimes I catch him staring
Sometimes he’s in my sheets
There’s a devil at my bedside
I can see it in his eyes
He doesn’t want my soul
He wants me to die

Demon!
Swallow your pill
Try to drown him
In your sin
Pop another
Chase it down
Depression always wins

Chorus
A nightmare (a nightmare) to me
I'm blinded by the curse that haunts my dreams
A nightmare (a nightmare) to me
I'm blinded by your sweet haunting melody

Walk beside me
Into to the flames he guides me
You will not define me
I cry and scream blindly
This is not a nightmare
I tremble in my bed
I can hear him laughing
I’m already dead
