I'm gonna have a nightmare tonight
I'm gonna be my nightmare tonight
You're pretty picky, you're a clique of one
I'm right though, surely I'm not the only gun you've got loaded?
How do you keep from gloating?
You're pretty tricky, did you pick that shade
Just to distract from the flash of the shining blade you've got hidden?
Deep wounds overwritten
I had so many new friends to see
So many possibilities
Now I couldn't possibly feel worse
I had so many fires left to nurse
In my nightmare tonight I'll see giant leviathans
Breaking the water in half with their shining skin
Riding them laughing you'll be in my nightmare tonight
In my nightmare tonight I'll see beasts all stampeding
Your signia burned onto haunches still healing
And leading the pack on their backs in my nightmare tonight
You'll be in my nightmare tonight, tonight
You're pretty ugly when you get down to it,
Combined, I've half a mind to just say screw it and break completely,
Or surrender so sweetly
I thought I'd have a chance to be my own,
Free from the tyranny of your tarnished throne
Now I see that kingdom belongs to me, oh no
I had so many irons in the fire
So many brands and swords
To their backsides I had even more
So many plans on what they're for
In my nightmare tonight, there's volcanoes erupting
A red hot web veining the land, it's disgusting
Cracked mountains of madness, your hand in my nightmare tonight
In my nightmare tonight I'll see me all consumed,
And attempting to sing disharmonious tunes with you.
Asynchronicity, I am in misery. I am in misery!
What has been done to me?
In my nightmare tonight
In my nightmare tonight I'll see giant leviathans
Breaking the water in half with their shining skin
Riding them laughing you'll be in my nightmare tonight
You'll be in my nightmare tonight
