Nightmare Lyrics

So sweet and so kind

Or so they say

Beauty, it blinds

Hides the real display

You smile as you sleep

Hoping this dream doesn't end

That's when the smile bends

Fear paralyzing as you descend

I'm a dream

Turned into a nightmare

What do you see when you sleep?

Only sleep if you dare

I'm only bright until it sets

You thought you got lucky

Now you wish to escape

It's almost funny

Watching you realize it's too late

You cry as you sleep

Hoping the nightmare will flee

Tangled in the mess of your own making

Oh, darling, there is no awaking

Cause I'm a

I'm a dream

Turned into a nightmare

What do you see when you sleep?

Only sleep if you dare

I'm only bright until it sets

The sun faded into black

Careful where you place your bets

There's no turning back

I'm a dream until my true colors show

Black and crimson slowly grow
