Nightmare
[00:00.52] Now I lay me down to sleep
[00:03.77] I pray the Lord my soul to keep
[00:06.26] If I shall die before I wake
[00:09.02] I pray the Lord my soul to take
[00:12.25] I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life
[00:17.28] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
[00:20.50] They talk shit, but I love it every time
[00:23.78] And I realize
[00:26.02] I've tasted blood and it is sweet
[00:29.75] I've had the rug pulled beneath my feet
[00:33.02] I've trusted lies and trusted men
[00:36.29] Broke down and put myself back together again
[00:39.77] Stared in the mirror and punched it to shatters
[00:42.29] Collected the pieces and picked out a dagger
[00:45.52] I've pinched my skin in between my two fingers
[00:49.02] And wished I could cut some parts off with some scissors
[00:52.53] Come on little lady, give us a smile
[00:55.27] No, I ain't got nothing to smile about
[00:58.53] I got no one to smile for, I've waited a while for
[01:02.02] A moment to say "I don't owe you a Goddamn thing"
[01:06.53] I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life
[01:09.78] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
[01:13.50] They talk shit, but I love it every time
[01:16.28] And I realize
[01:18.54] No sweet dream but I'm a hell of a night
[01:24.77] That I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night
[01:31.00] No, I won't smile, but I'll show you my teeth
[01:35.52] 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
[01:42.02] Letting a man tell me what I should do in my bed
[01:45.52] Keep my exes in check in my basement
[01:48.01] 'Cause kindness is weakness, or worse, you're complacent
[01:51.27] I could play nice, or I could be a bully
[01:54.53] I'm tired and angry, but somebody should be
[01:58.26] Come on little lady, give us a smile
[02:00.54] No, I ain't got nothing to smile about
[02:04.30] I got no one to smile for, I've waited a while for
[02:07.78] A moment to say "I don't owe you a Goddamn thing"
[02:12.27] I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life
[02:15.55] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
[02:19.01] They talk shit, but I love it every time
[02:22.03] And I realize
[02:24.00] I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life
[02:28.77] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
[02:32.02] They talk shit, but I love it every time
[02:35.25] And I realize
[02:37.27] Someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware
[02:43.77] But I'd rather be a real nightmare than die unaware, yes
[02:50.77] Someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware
[02:57.27] But I'm glad to be a real nightmare, so save me your prayers
[03:03.50] I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life
[03:08.28] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
[03:11.27] They talk shit, but I love it every time
[03:14.78] And I realize
[03:16.77] I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life
[03:21.29] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
[03:24.55] They talk shit, but I love it every time
[03:28.03] And I realize
[03:30.03] I'm no sweet dream but I'm a hell of a night
[03:36.02] That I'm no sweet dream but I'm a hell of a night
