Nightmare

Tick-tock, hear the wiring breathe

Neon flickers, staring back at me

Eyes in the dark, counting every move

Tell me now - who’s haunting who?

Six hours trapped in a coffin of light

Doors held shut by a prayer every night

Cameras lie, shadows crawl

Every rule here’s made to fall

Cold metal hums like it knows my name

Every step echoes guilt and shame

I swear I hear them laugh when I blink

Like they know exactly what I think

Walls are closing, wires scream

This doesn’t feel like a dream

Every breath is borrowed time

Counting seconds till I’m mine.

This is a nightmare I can’t escape

Wide awake, but I’m sealed in fate

I run, I hide, I still can’t leave

Trapped inside this broken dream

Hear them whisper, hear them breathe

Metal mouths with human teeth

I scream, but silence answers me

Yeah, this is my nightmare

We remember every scream you left behind

Every lie you tried to bury in time

You lock the doors, you shut us out

But we live where fear is loud

We were children, we were names

Now we’re shadows fed by pain

You can’t reset what you broke inside

This place never lets you die

Clock is laughing, night stands still

Every choice bends to our will

You feel safe behind that screen

But we see everything

This is a nightmare I can’t escape

Every step seals my fate

I fight, I fall, I still can’t wake

Caught inside this endless phase

Hear the footsteps, feel the heat

Static screaming underneath

No end, no light, no guarantee

Yeah, this is my nightmare

You hear us crying through the walls

You feel it every time you stall

This building breathes what you deny

You can’t outrun what never died

(drums slam back in)

Say our names

Face the blame

Stay awake

Play the game

If morning comes, I won’t be clean

The stains stay sharp, they don’t fade green

I close my eyes, they pull me in

Another night

Another sin

This is a nightmare I can’t escape

No reset, no clean slate

The walls remember every scream

This isn’t sleep — it’s everything

We were lost, we were afraid

Now we’re gears in your decay

Stay and watch the darkness breathe

Welcome to your nightmare

Tick-tock, the night’s not done

No one leaves when morning comes

Close your eyes — don’t try to fight

We’ll see you

Tomorrow night
