Nightmares Never End

In the dwindling twilight time is unwinding, lines are blurred

Under the guise of a child into your nightmare I've been lured

Like a puppet, tied and hung up tightly bound

Your strings I've been strung to

I dream that I'd run away from you if my feet could feel the ground

Now I'm out of the woods, safe and sound as I board up the doors

But once I'm in the clear, and free of all fear, I find that I'm hungry for more

The hunt has begun, hold onto your hats, if it isn't knives, it's eyes in your back

So whether or not you're friendly with rats

Pretend you're a mouse in a house full of cats

Pale is the prison they doomеd me to dwell

With room for just one, but two in a cеll

The dusk is upon us, I knew as it fell

That darkness is honest, are you to yourself?

With my thoughts are distorted and body

Dysmorphed into monstrous forms of the awfullest sorts

We're locked up with dolls and their hollowed out corpses

All haunted by hunger, the omniscient force

So often my reveries are littered with the debris of my hopes and dreams

As we all grow to be old and bitter, a tale foretold in broken screens

How blinding the glare, your mind is so weak

I'd like you to share this nightmare with me

I hide in my hood, not to show you my eyes

I know that I'll fail with no coattail to ride

Mannequin paired with marionette

In dissonant discord, our deadly duet

We're lost in a lullaby, slumbering away

Where sins remain hidden, but rarely they stay

It was only in my shadow that I'd finally found a friend

Till the light that bound us let go and the devil took my hand

As she closed my eyes, remind me once again

What's the dreamer's lie? Every nightmare has an end

(Beware the dreamer's lie, every nightmare has an end)

(Or you'll be where the dreamers lie, some nightmares never end)

I sleep like the dead, nonetheless I am lucid

If dreams have a meaning, perhaps I should tune in

To the signal that beckons, familiar it seems

Be silent, you might see yourself in its beams

A knife or a noose is with what you'll be met

If you try to play nice and stick out your neck

I thrive in the shadows, untrusting of light

Be warned if you join me, it's just for a bite

I'd rather be lost and lonely

'Cause friends aren't meant to last

Thought you finally got to know me

But you've only met the mask

Sad is my dream where the grass is quite green

Turned into a pasture of mesmerized sheep

I'd count them, but why should I bother

In the end they're all meant to be slaughtered

It was only in my shadow that I'd finally found a friend

Till the light that bound us let go and the devil took my hand

As she closed my eyes remind me once again

What's the dreamer's lie? Every nightmare has an end

(Beware the dreamer's lie, every nightmare has an end)

(Or you'll be where the dreamers lie, some nightmares never end)

(Beware the dreamer's lie, every nightmare has an end)

(Or you'll be where the dreamers lie, some nightmares never end)
