Nightmare

[00:00.27] Now I lay me down to sleep

[00:04.30] I pray the Lord my soul to keep

[00:06.77] If I shall die before I wake

[00:08.99] I pray the Lord my soul to take

[00:12.49] I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life

[00:17.25] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

[00:20.29] They talk shit, but I love it every time

[00:23.76] And I realize

[00:26.50] I've tasted blood and it is sweet

[00:30.01] I've had the rug pulled beneath my feet

[00:33.00] I've trusted lies and trusted men

[00:36.26] Broke down and put myself back together again

[00:39.52] Stared in the mirror and punched it to shatters

[00:42.24] Collected the pieces and picked out a dagger

[00:45.54] I've pinched my skin in between my two fingers

[00:48.76] And wished I could cut some parts off with some scissors

[00:52.25] Come on little lady, give us a smile

[00:55.03] No, I ain't got nothing to smile about

[00:58.49] I got no one to smile for, I've waited a while for

[01:02.25] A moment to say "I don't owe you a Goddamn thing"

[01:06.02] I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life

[01:09.77] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

[01:13.24] They talk shit, but I love it every time

[01:16.26] And I realize

[01:19.53] No sweet dream but I'm a hell of a night

[01:21.51] That I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night

[01:32.74] No, I won't smile, but I'll show you my teeth

[01:35.26] And I'ma let you speak if you just let me breathe

[01:38.76] I've been polite, but won't be caught dead

[01:42.00] Letting a man tell me what I should do in my bed

[01:45.26] Keep my exes in check in my basement

[01:47.99] 'Cause kindness is weakness, or worse, you're complacent

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

[01:54.77] I'm tired and angry, but somebody should be

[01:58.48] Come on little lady, give us a smile

[02:01.28] No, I ain't got nothing to smile about

[02:03.99] I got no one to smile for, I've waited a while for

[02:07.99] A moment to say "I don't owe you a Goddamn thing"

[02:11.99] I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life

[02:15.51] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

[02:18.76] They talk shit, but I love it every time

[02:21.74] And I realize

[02:24.49] I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life

[02:28.49] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

[02:31.76] They talk shit, but I love it every time

[02:35.25] And I realize

[02:37.78] Someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware

[02:43.75] But I'd rather be a real nightmare than die unaware, yes

[02:51.02] Someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware

[02:56.50] But I'm glad to be a real nightmare, so save me your prayers

[03:04.27] I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life

[03:08.00] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

[03:11.26] They talk shit, but I love it every time

[03:14.79] And I realize

[03:17.25] I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life

[03:21.05] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

[03:24.25] They talk shit, but I love it every time

[03:27.74] And I realize

[03:30.29] I'm no sweet dream but I'm a hell of a night

[03:35.51] That I'm no sweet dream but I'm a hell of a night
