Nightmare

[00:01.22] Now I lay me down to sleep

[00:04.47] I pray the Lord my soul to keep

[00:06.96] If I shall die before I wake

[00:09.72] I pray the Lord my soul to take

[00:12.95] I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life

[00:17.98] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

[00:21.20] They talk shit, but I love it every time

[00:24.48] And I realize

[00:26.72] I've tasted blood and it is sweet

[00:30.45] I've had the rug pulled beneath my feet

[00:33.72] I've trusted lies and trusted men

[00:36.99] Broke down and put myself back together again

[00:40.47] Stared in the mirror and punched it to shatters

[00:42.99] Collected the pieces and picked out a dagger

[00:46.22] I've pinched my skin in between my two fingers

[00:49.72] And wished I could cut some parts off with some scissors

[00:53.23] Come on little lady, give us a smile

[00:55.97] No, I ain't got nothing to smile about

[00:59.23] I got no one to smile for, I've waited a while for

[01:02.72] A moment to say "I don't owe you a Goddamn thing"

[01:07.23] I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life

[01:10.48] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

[01:14.20] They talk shit, but I love it every time

[01:16.98] And I realize

[01:19.24] 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

[01:31.70] No, I won't smile, but I'll show you my teeth

[01:36.22] And I'ma let you speak if you just let me breathe

[01:39.46] I've been polite, but won't be caught dead

[01:42.72] Letting a man tell me what I should do in my bed

[01:46.22] Keep my exes in check in my basement

[01:48.71] 'Cause kindness is weakness, or worse, you're complacent

[01:51.97] I could play nice, or I could be a bully

[01:55.23] I'm tired and angry, but somebody should be

[01:58.96] Come on little lady, give us a smile

[02:01.24] No, I ain't got nothing to smile about

[02:05.00] I got no one to smile for, I've waited a while for

[02:08.48] A moment to say "I don't owe you a Goddamn thing"

[02:12.97] I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life

[02:16.25] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

[02:19.71] They talk shit, but I love it every time

[02:22.73] And I realize

[02:24.70] I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life

[02:29.47] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

[02:32.72] They talk shit, but I love it every time

[02:35.95] And I realize

[02:37.97] Someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware

[02:44.47] But I'd rather be a real nightmare than die unaware, yes

[02:51.47] Someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware

[02:57.97] But I'm glad to be a real nightmare, so save me your prayers

[03:04.20] I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life

[03:08.98] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

[03:11.97] They talk shit, but I love it every time

[03:15.48] And I realize

[03:17.47] I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life

[03:21.99] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

[03:25.25] They talk shit, but I love it every time

[03:28.73] And I realize

[03:30.73] I'm no sweet dream but I'm a hell of a night

[03:36.72] That I'm no sweet dream but I'm a hell of a night
