Nightmare Lyrics
I let you in
You sunk your knife so deep
Under my skin
And cut my heart from me
Where did you go
Where's the person you used to be
I don't know you
And you don't know me
You're all alone
And you only refuse to see
Let me show you
What you can't show me
I will erase the nightmare you became
It comes in waves you're everything I hate
You try to drag me down
I'll cut you out and now
I will erase the nightmare you became
Nightmare
You're in my head
Buried so deep inside
You want me dead
But I feel so alive
Look at you now
That there's nowhere for you to run
I cut you out
And the pain is gone
I had my doubts
When it started to come undone
You fucked around
And you broke my trust
I will erase the nightmare you became
It comes in waves you're everything I hate
You try to drag me down
I'll cut you out and now
I will erase the nightmare you became
Nightmare
Now I lay me down to sleep
You're the devil in my dreams
Swear to god I will erase
This nightmare you became
Now I lay me down to sleep
You're the devil in my dreams
Swear to god I will erase
This nightmare you became
I will erase the nightmare you became
It comes in waves you're everything I hate
You try to drag me down
I'll cut you out and now
I will erase the nightmare you became
Nightmare
You sunk your knife so deep
Under my skin
And cut my heart from me
Where's the person you used to be
I don't know you
And you don't know me
You're all alone
And you only refuse to see
Let me show you
What you can't show me
It comes in waves you're everything I hate
You try to drag me down
I'll cut you out and now
I will erase the nightmare you became
Buried so deep inside
You want me dead
But I feel so alive
That there's nowhere for you to run
I cut you out
And the pain is gone
I had my doubts
When it started to come undone
You fucked around
And you broke my trust
It comes in waves you're everything I hate
You try to drag me down
I'll cut you out and now
I will erase the nightmare you became
You're the devil in my dreams
Swear to god I will erase
This nightmare you became
Now I lay me down to sleep
You're the devil in my dreams
Swear to god I will erase
This nightmare you became
It comes in waves you're everything I hate
You try to drag me down
I'll cut you out and now
I will erase the nightmare you became
