Nightmare Lyrics by Graceman

Rebel Days

2016

[Verse 1]
I hear 'em creepin', hear 'em sneakin'
They're tryna be quiet
Said my goodbyes, I close my eyes
Sweet dreams, goodnight

[Pre-Chorus]
Slowly driftin'
To a far off place
Where I'll stare my demons
Straight in the face

[Chorus]
When the sun goes away (when the sun goes away)
The monsters come out to play
But I don't like these kinds of games
No, I don't like these kinds of games

[Post-Chorus]
This dream is a nightmare
This dream is a nightmare and I'm scared
This dream is a nightmare
This dream is a nightmare, a nightmare

[Verse 2]
Story tellin', so compellin'
Is the light of the moon
Night has fallen, dark is callin'
Soon I'll be consumed

[Pre-Chorus]
Slowly driftin'
To a far off place
Where I'll stare my demons
Straight in the face

[Chorus]
When the sun goes away (when the sun goes away)
The monsters come out to play
But I don't like these kinds of games
No, I don't like these kinds of games
Shadows dance on the wall (shadows dance on the wall)
Footsteps echo in the hall
Don't you know I'm afraid
Hey, don't you know I'm afraid

[Post-Chorus]
This dream is a nightmare
This dream is a nightmare and I'm scared
This dream is a nightmare
This dream is a nightmare, a nightmare

[Bridge]
No matter how hard I try (hard I try)
I can't seem to wake up
And I am turning into what I fear most (most)
Who I once was, will only be a ghost

[Outro]
Ay-yeah, oh
This dream is a nightmare
This dream is a nightmare and I'm scared
This dream is a nightmare
This dream is a nightmare, a nightmare
Ay-yeah, oh
