Daydreams of Nightmares

[Verse 1]
Blank stare at the ceiling fan
It spins like a warning sign
Half-asleep
I see the cracks
Crawling up these bedroom lines
Footsteps in an empty hall
Shadows fighting for a face
Every time I close my eyes
I'm right back in that place
[Chorus]
Daydreams of nightmares
Scare the hell out of me
I’m safe in the daylight
But my mind won’t let me be
I’m stuck in a rewind
Of things I’ll never see
Daydreams of nightmares
Scare the hell out of me
[Verse 2]
Coffee shakes in my left hand
I laugh but it’s wearing thin
Tell myself it’s all in my head
But that’s where it all begins
Faces in the passing cars
Look like they remember me
Like I did something awful
And forgot my own memory
[Chorus]
Daydreams of nightmares
Scare the hell out of me
I’m safe in the daylight
But my mind won’t let me be
I’m stuck in a rewind
Of things I’ll never see
Daydreams of nightmares
Scare the hell out of me
[Bridge]
Is it fear
Is it fate
Or just chemicals misfired
If I wake
If I stay
Either way I’m so damn tired
[Chorus]
Daydreams of nightmares
Scare the hell out of me
I’m safe in the daylight
But my mind won’t let me be
I’m stuck in a rewind
Of things I’ll never see
Daydreams of nightmares
Scare the hell out of me
