Lyrics

Nightmare

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

They're coming, creeping from the corner

And all I know is that I don't feel safe

I feel the tapping on my shoulder

I turn around in an alarming state

But am I loosing my mind?

I really think so

Not a creature in sight

But what you don't know is that

My breathing gets faster

And so does my heartbeat

I wish this was over

I wish that this was a dream but

I created a monster, a hell within my head

Nowhere to go, I'm out on my own

Oh I'm so scared

I created a monster, a beast inside my brain

Nowhere to go, I'm not on my own

My mind impaired to wake me from my nightmare

Wait, something doesn't feel right (feel right)

No, something seems wrong (wrong)

And I've been feeling this way (oh that's too bad), for far too long

As my vision gets blurred, my skin's getting colder

Appearing young, while I'm growing older

I collapse to the floor and scream:

"Can anybody save me from myself?"

I created a monster, a hell within my head

Nowhere to go, I'm out on my own

Oh I'm so scared (oh, oh I'm so scared)

I created a monster, a beast inside my brain

Nowhere to go, I'm not on my own

My mind impaired to wake me from my nightmare

Walk into the latch, I find myself looking down

Frozen still with fear, now I'm plunging to the ground

If only I knew how to fly, then I could convince myself

This isn't my time to die

Instead I'm rocketing faster, and faster

I dive, fall to the floor

And when my body crashes to the pavement

I'm right back where I was before

I created a monster, a hell within my head

Nowhere to go, I'm out on my own

Oh I'm so scared

I created a monster, a hell within my head

Nowhere to go, I'm out on my own

Oh I'm so scared, no, no

I created a monster, a beast inside my brain

Nowhere to go, I'm not on my own

My mind impaired to wake me from my nightmare

(I'm so scared) Awake me from my nightmare

(I'm so scared) Awake me from my nightmare

(I'm so scared) Awake me from my nightmare

(I'm so scared!) Awake me from my nightmare
