Nightmare

[00:01.77] Now I lay me down to sleep

[00:04.15] I pray the Lord, my soul to keep

[00:07.07] If I shall die before I wake

[00:09.73] I pray the Lord, my soul to take

[00:13.18] I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life

[00:17.43] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

[00:20.89] They talk shit, but I love it every time

[00:24.07] And I realize

[00:26.73] I've tasted blood and it is sweet

[00:30.18] I've had the rug pulled beneath my feet

[00:33.37] I've trusted lies and trusted men

[00:36.56] Broke down and put myself back together again

[00:39.74] Stared in the mirror and punched it to shatters

[00:42.67] Collected the pieces and picked out a dagger

[00:46.12] I've pinched my skin in between my two fingers

[00:49.31] And wished I could cut some parts off with some scissors

[00:52.76] "Come on, little lady, give us a smile"

[00:55.69] No, I ain't got nothin' to smile about

[00:58.60] I got no one to smile for, I waited a while for

[01:02.32] A moment to say I don't owe you a goddamn thing

[01:06.05] I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life

[01:10.29] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

[01:13.48] They talk shit, but I love it every time

[01:16.93] And I realize

[01:19.06] I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night

[01:25.43] That I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night

[01:32.61] No, I won't smile, but I'll show you my teeth

[01:35.79] And I'ma let you speak if you just let me breathe

[01:39.25] I've been polite, but won't be caught dead

[01:42.43] Lettin' a man tell me what I should do with my bed

[01:45.62] Keep my exes in check in my basement

[01:48.28] 'Cause kindness is weakness, or worse, you're complacent

[01:52.00] I could play nice or I could be a bully

[01:54.91] I'm tired and angry, but somebody should be

[01:58.37] "Come on, little lady, give us a smile"

[02:01.29] No, I ain't got nothin' to smile about

[02:04.74] I got no one to smile for, I waited a while for

[02:08.20] A moment to say I don't owe you a goddamn thing

[02:11.70] I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life

[02:15.86] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

[02:19.30] They talk shit, but I love it every time

[02:22.76] And I realize

[02:24.89] I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life

[02:29.13] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

[02:32.32] They talk shit, but I love it every time

[02:35.77] And I realize

[02:37.90] Someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware

[02:44.54] But I'd rather be a real nightmare, than die unaware, yeah

[02:51.72] Someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware

[02:57.28] But I'm glad to be a real nightmare, so save me your prayers

[03:04.47] I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life

[03:08.47] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

[03:11.91] They talk shit, but I love it every time

[03:15.11] And I realize

[03:17.50] I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life

[03:21.75] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

[03:24.94] They talk shit, but I love it every time

[03:28.40] And I realize

[03:30.52] I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night

[03:36.89] That I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night
