Nightmare

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 losing my mind?
I really think so.
Not a creature in sight.
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.
With nowhere to go,
I’m out on my own,
Oh, I’m so scared.
I created a monster,
A beast inside my brain.
With nowhere to go,
I’m out on my own,
My mind impaired.
Awake me from my nightmare.
Wait! Something doesn’t feel right.
No! Something seems wrong.
And I’ve been feeling this way,
For far too long.
As my vision gets blurred my 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.
With nowhere to go,
I’m out on my own,
Oh, I’m so scared.
I created a monster,
A beast inside my brain.
With nowhere to go,
I’m out on my own,
My mind impaired.
Awake me from my nightmare.
Walking to the ledge;
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.
It’s that I’m rocketing faster and faster,
I dive onto 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.
With nowhere to go,
I’m out on my own,
Oh, I’m so scared.
I created a monster,
A hell within my head.
With nowhere to go,
I’m out on my own,
Oh, I’m so scared.
No, no, oh woah,
I created a monster,
A beast inside my brain,
With nowhere to go,
I’m out on my own,
My mind impaired.
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. (I’m so scared!)
Awake me from my nightmare.
