Lately I can barely keep my eyes shut
All these bad dreams make my mind numb
When I sleep I never know what might come
I can't seem to get away when I run
Cuz I've been having nightmares, I've been having nightmares
I've been having nightmares and I can't sleep
Cuz I've been having nightmares, I've been having nightmares
I've been having nightmares and I can't sleep
I've been pacing round my room, head is filled with gloom
Feeling doomed, think that my sanity's going, might as well give in soon
Afraid to close my eyes, afraid to open them
Hoping that somehow I'll come around and release the hand that's choking me
Why don't you come up and float with me?
This is my fantasy land, mythical just like the Candyman, this is insanity
Planned an escape but the hands reached out and pulled me back down, I can barely stand
My worst fears come to life
My mind goes to places that terrify
My deepest regrets and my horrible lies
Manifest in those red eyes
I've been aching from this paranoia
Tangled in this blanket, know ya
Don't believe me maybe I can show ya instead
I've been tugging on this rope I know
I'll pull myself up from this hole
But if I don't I'll just set fire to this bed
Lately I can barely keep my eyes shut
All these bad dreams make my mind numb
When I sleep I never know what might come
I can't seem to get away when I run
Cuz I've been having nightmares, I've been having nightmares
I've been having nightmares and I can't sleep
Cuz I've been having nightmares, I've been having nightmares
I've been having nightmares and I can't sleep
