[Intro]
Eyes open
Still falling
Same hallway
Same warning
[Verse 1]
Floor sticky like shame
Walls breathing my name
Clock drip, drip, melting
Every second the same
Shadow with my face on
Keeps walking beside
Mouth stitched, but it’s laughing
I’m screaming inside
[Pre-Chorus]
Run, but the ground keeps looping
Doors in a row, keep choosing
Every handle burns my hand
Why’s the dark know who I am
[Chorus]
Nightmares are dreams I can’t escape from
Sludge in the tunnel, yeah it weighs a ton
I wake up, but I’m still not safe, nah
Close my eyes, and I’m back where I came from
Nightmares are dreams I can’t escape from
Can’t climb out when the fear runs
Thick in my lungs, I can’t say none
Nightmares are dreams I can’t escape from
[Verse 2]
Teeth made out of glass
Smile ready to crack
Friends turning to strangers
Then strangers attack
Strobe flash of my failures
On the wall in a loop
Every rumor, every whisper
All rehearsed for the troupe
[Pre-Chorus]
Cold sweat dripping like poison
Heart beat louder than voices
Reach for a light, it fades
Guess I’m stuck in this maze
[Chorus]
Nightmares are dreams I can’t escape from
Sludge in the tunnel, yeah it weighs a ton
I wake up, but I’m still not safe, nah
Close my eyes, and I’m back where I came from
[Chorus]
