Last night I had a nightmare
A nightmare of you
I woke up a splitting headache and its keeping me from sleep
How can I explain
The trouble I have when the only sleep I get I'm having nightmares
Every night is constant struggle just to keep my eyes shut
But I finally get the chance to fall asleep I'm haunted by these images
I've got this list of demons that haunt me
All throughout the night
Each one paying their respects in worse ways than the one before
There is no escape
There is no escape
Try to fight it
It will only make things worse
Try to explain it
You can't find the words
Are these random thoughts that come to me or are they predictions of what I will be
What I will become
Maybe I should just give in and let it happen
Find the darkness in me
And set it free
And Now my demons do not keep me from sleep, they keep from being the old me
I choose to be this way
Sleepless everyday
Until it all catches up with me
Dancing in the darkness every demon I've ever known
Now they are friend not foe
And I'm not running away
Anymore
