Living Nightmare

I wake up drowning, trapped inside my mind,

Shattered pieces of me scattered, hard to find.

Pills don’t cure me, silence cuts too deep,

Fighting my demons while they keep me from sleep.

They say I’m fading, that I’ve lost control,

But all I feel is rising, burning deep in my soul.

I’m a nightmare, nightmare—

Living in the dark, but I don’t care.

I’m not broken, I’m just aware,

The world don’t fight fair, but I’ll still stand here.

Call me the villain, say I’m cursed for life,

But I’m the one who’s stronger, cut through all your lies.

I don’t need your pity, don’t need your prayers,

I’ll rise from the ashes, I’ll breathe your despair.

I’m done with your games, with all the hate you bring,

If you’re scared of what I am, then I’ll make your heart sing.

I’m a nightmare, nightmare—

Living in the dark, but I don’t care.

I’m not broken, I’m just aware,

The world don’t fight fair, but I’ll still stand here.

The mirror’s cracked, but now I see,

I’m the monster, and the monster’s me.

Let the world burn, let it all fall apart,

I’ll rise from the ashes, a fire in my heart.

I’m a nightmare, nightmare—

And I won’t care.

Living nightmare, nightmare—

Now I’m aware.
