Nightmares 04:39
Shadows crawling up the wall Lights are out My feet struggle down the hall Pure blackout It’s the same as every night before I lament Even though I know I lock the door Don’t forget But the nightmares Won’t go away I’ve been waiting for Another day As I drift out of this world It won’t go away And the nightmares They are here to stay Panic grips my inner thoughts More regret Strangled by the pain of loss No effect I confess it’s been inside of me All along Can’t pretend it’s normal not to see They belong But the nightmares Won’t go away I’ve been waiting for Another day As I drift out of this world It won’t go away And the nightmares They are here to stay They said Listen There’s nothing to fear You are Going to be alright But the nightmares Won’t go away I’ve been waiting for Another day As I drift out of this world It won’t go away And the nightmares They are here to stay

You are the only person I know But I take you round to people who are on the go Well you took me to a picture show And what's the first thing I see But them burning pictures of my head to toe, hey! I'm not an effigy, no, no! I asked you if you would be mad If I packed my things and moved away to faraway land Well I packed my things and I moved to this place And what's the first thing I see But them burning pictures of me in my face, hey! I'm not an effigy, no, no! Well I moved back from this faraway land Walked right into a room with me mum and me dad Well I saw my picture hanging on the wall They tried to rip it and burn it But it just withstood it all and I said hey! I'm not an effigy I'm not angry I'm not an effigy... hey! Well walking around this stinking town I look up at the buildings and they get me down Well I look to my left and then I look to my right And then I realize they've been striking at me Since the middle of last night, hey! I'm not an effigy
