Nightmare

[00:01.85] Now I lay me down to sleep

[00:04.23] I pray the Lord my soul to keep

[00:06.89] If I shall die before I 'wake

[00:09.29] I pray the Lord my soul to take

[00:13.01] I, I keep a record of the wreckage of my life

[00:17.27] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

[00:20.72] They talk shit, but I love it every time

[00:24.38] And I realize

[00:26.03] I've tasted blood and it is sweet

[00:29.76] I've had the rug pulled beneath my feet

[00:32.95] I've trusted lies and trusted men

[00:36.13] Broke down and put myself back together again

[00:39.25] Stared in the mirror and punched it to shatters

[00:42.71] Collected the pieces and picked out a dagger

[00:46.17] I've pinched my skin in between my two fingers

[00:49.15] And wished I could cut some parts off with some scissors

[00:52.37] "Come on, little lady, give us a smile"

[00:55.29] No, I ain't got nothin' to smile about

[00:58.74] I got no one to smile for, I waited a while for

[01:02.19] A moment to say I don't owe you a goddamn thing

[01:05.92] I, I keep a record of the wreckage of my life

[01:09.90] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

[01:13.09] They talk shit, but I love it every time

[01:16.54] And I realize

[01:18.68] I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night

[01:25.47] That I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night

[01:32.37] No, I won't smile, but I'll show you my teeth

[01:35.57] And I'ma let you speak if you just let me breathe

[01:38.75] I've been polite, but won't be caught dead

[01:42.20] Lettin' a man tell me what I should do in my bed

[01:45.40] Keep my exes in check in my basement

[01:48.31] 'Cause kindness is weakness, or worse, you're complacent

[01:51.50] I could play nice or I could be a bully

[01:54.69] I'm tired and angry, but somebody should be

[01:58.42] "Come on, little lady, give us a smile"

[02:01.08] No, I ain't got nothin' to smile about

[02:04.27] I got no one to smile for, I waited a while for

[02:08.00] A moment to say I don't owe you a goddamn thing

[02:12.22] I, I keep a record of the wreckage of my life

[02:15.67] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

[02:18.86] They talk shit, but I love it every time

[02:22.32] And I realize

[02:24.97] I, I keep a record of the wreckage of my life

[02:28.69] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

[02:31.88] They talk shit, but I love it every time

[02:35.33] And I realize

[02:37.99] Someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware

[02:44.09] But I'd rather be a real nightmare than die unaware, yeah

[02:50.74] Someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware

[02:56.85] But I'm glad to be a real nightmare, so save me your prayers

[03:03.75] I, I keep a record of the wreckage of my life

[03:08.54] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

[03:11.46] They talk shit, but I love it every time

[03:14.64] And I realize

[03:17.04] I, I keep a record of the wreckage of my life

[03:21.29] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

[03:24.47] They talk shit, but I love it every time

[03:27.92] And I realize

[03:30.58] I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night

[03:36.42] That I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night
