Land of Nightmares Lyrics

When you look at me
As if you don't know me
And you talk to me
Like you've never met me

I can leave you alone if I try
If I tried I could tell you goodbye

If I wanted to
I could be long gone
If I wanted to
I could be long gone
Well I don't have to be nobody's fool
I won't make no exception of you
And I don't have to crawl
I can just walk away
No I don't have to crawl
I can just walk away

You make your moves
As if I should follow you
You call on me
Just like I should run to you
I don't have to get down on my knees
I don't have be present to please you
I don't have to crawl
I can just walk away
No I don't have to crawl
I can just walk away

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
