The Sharrow - Nightmare lyrics

rate me

<b>Nightmare</b> by <i>The Sharrow</i><br />ake me up; please wake me up (x2)

I need to wake from this dream

I cannot hear myself scream

I'm scratching inside my head

To tear myself from my bed

My stomach churning, my throat is burning

In here, dark violence, I lay in silence

My eyes jar open, drenched and broken

I'm scared in my own skin of thoughts that dwell within

The fear of going back shrouds my mind in black

I strike myself to feel and find it's still not real

Like I never left, I feel approaching death

Convulsions wrack each breath

Under flesh it breeds, on my limbs it feeds

From wounds that never bleed

Each moment draining life, I can no longer fight

I sense the coming light

There's warmth upon my skin and hope burns within

Can I wake from this sin?

Don't give in to the dark

I know we can make it through

Hold on and stay in the light

Don't let them take you too

Give me a reason to fight

I don't have the strength to go on

I'm lost and too far in

Can't you see they've already won?

While I wait for thoughts to cease

I know I'll never rest in peace

So if morning should ever come

Promise you'll wake me please
