Nightmare

[00:08.23] Now I lay me down to sleep

[00:10.72] I pray the Lord, my soul to keep

[00:13.47] If I shall die before I wake

[00:15.97] I pray the Lord, my soul to take

[00:19.48] I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life

[00:23.97] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

[00:27.22] They talk shit, but I love it every time

[00:30.73] And I realize

[00:33.26] I've tasted blood and it is sweet

[00:36.26] I've had the rug pulled beneath my feet

[00:39.76] I've trusted lies and trusted men

[00:43.01] Broke down and put myself back together again

[00:46.26] Stared in the mirror and punched it to shatters

[00:49.01] Collected the pieces and picked out a dagger

[00:52.52] I've pinched my skin in between my two fingers

[00:55.76] And wished I could cut some parts off with some scissors

[00:59.01] "Come on, little lady, give us a smile"

[01:01.76] No, I ain't got nothin' to smile about

[01:05.01] I got no one to smile for, I waited a while for

[01:09.01] A moment to say I don't owe you a goddamn thing

[01:12.77] I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life

[01:16.52] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

[01:19.77] They talk shit, but I love it every time

[01:23.26] And I realize

[01:25.23] I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night

[01:31.73] That I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night

[01:38.47] No, I won't smile, but I'll show you my teeth

[01:42.23] And I'ma let you speak if you just let me breathe

[01:45.48] I've been polite, but won't be caught dead

[01:48.73] Lettin' a man tell me what I should do with my bed

[01:52.23] Keep my exes in check in my basement

[01:54.99] 'Cause kindness is weakness, or worse, you're complacent

[01:58.48] I could play nice or I could be a bully

[02:01.35] I'm tired and angry, but somebody should be

[02:04.85] "Come on, little lady, give us a smile"

[02:07.60] No, I ain't got nothin' to smile about

[02:11.10] I got no one to smile for, I waited a while for

[02:14.60] A moment to say I don't owe you a goddamn thing

[02:18.85] I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life

[02:22.35] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

[02:25.60] They talk shit, but I love it every time

[02:29.11] And I realize

[02:31.06] I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life

[02:35.57] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

[02:38.81] They talk shit, but I love it every time

[02:42.06] And I realize

[02:44.57] Someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware

[02:50.61] But I'd rather be a real nightmare, than die unaware, yeah

[02:57.35] Someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware

[03:03.60] But I'm glad to be a real nightmare, so save me your prayers

[03:10.60] I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life

[03:15.10] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

[03:18.35] They talk shit, but I love it every time

[03:21.60] And I realize

[03:23.86] I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life

[03:28.11] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

[03:31.36] They talk shit, but I love it every time

[03:34.88] And I realize

[03:36.88] I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night

[03:43.12] That I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night
