Nightmare Lyrics

Another day draws to a closing

And yet it’s me left here wondering

What could it mean those words he said

That in the least encompasses my head

‘Sweet Dreams’ he remarked

a gentle kiss imprinting my heart

Apparent to me, it obviously seems

He doesn’t know what comes with dreams

It brings the cold sweat out

Fumbling and chilling, what their all about

When I try to run, they grab me

Within my deceit, their reality

A piercing shriek; a crying sky

No time to gasp let alone ask why

The shadows come, surrounding

My fear alone is mounding; in this, my nightmare

Creatures of amazing concoction

My soul they sell at this inhuman auction

The hidden, darken corners now are visible

Long forgotten fears now are plausible; in this my nightmare

Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming

Oh how I long for the deep sleep dreaming 

I cannot cease for the fear of silent nights

I the goddess of imaginary light

If you need to leave the world you live in

Lay your head down and stay a while

Though you may not remember dreaming

Something waits for you to breathe again; in this my nightmare
