Verse 1/
Well I woke up 30 hours ago,
And I looked up at the skies above,
Dark, black clouds, no silver line,
What about the sun?
Has it burnt out in time?

I didn’t think I was away that long,
Breaking out of my strait jacket,
Moving fast is a nightmare when,
Your arms are tied,
And your legs are weak.

Pre-Chorus/
I see creepy people walking down the streets,
It’s the land of the dead life,
Cold machines it’s so robotic,
Land of the half life,
Stuck in the middle.

Chorus/
I was stuck somewhere between the darkness and the light,
The nightmare was beginning as the day time turned to night,
I was in an unholy place,
And a tear drop tattooed face,
Looked upon me and said,
‘You’re in my nightmare now,’
I said ‘brother I don’t see how,
I just don’t see how.’

Verse 2/
Am I the devil in a dress?
Is it me putting these thoughts in to our heads?
Young and sweet so innocent,
I can’t be dark,
I’m so luminescent.

Pre-Chorus/
I see sanctuary and people crying,
It’s the land of the dead life,
Demonic war and evil passion,
Land of the half life,
So pessimistic.

Chorus/
I was stuck somewhere between the darkness and the light,
The nightmare was beginning as the day time turned to night,
I was in an unholy place,
And a tear drop tattooed face,
Looked upon me and said,
‘You’re in my nightmare now,’
I said ‘brother I don’t see how,
I just don’t see how.’

Bridge/
Saw my sadistic friend with fire in his eye,
I longed for the priest for I’m about to fry,
He said ‘look in the mirror girl,
And tell me what you see,’
Confused I looked to find,
The one holding the pitchfork is me.

So I guess I’m the nightmare,
And I’m the one who sings,
Sweet lullabies to lure them in,
So I’m the nightmare,
I’m the nightmare,
I’m the nightmare,
I’m the nightmare.

Final Chorus/
I was in an unholy place,
And a tear drop tattooed face,
Looked upon me and said,
‘You’re in my nightmare now,’
I said ‘brother I don’t see how,
I just don’t see how.’
I’m the nightmare,
I’m the nightmare,
I’m the nightmare,
Yes I’m the nightmare.
