Nightmare Lyrics by Paranorma

Norma

2024

[Verse 1]
Listen to the chime ringing at the door
Even when you try to stop it, there is always more
Pull my head under the covers, tell myself it's not real
That's not true
Now they're here for you

[Pre-Chorus]
In the darkness, dead of night
They come to play, now they own the night

[Chorus]
Never been the type to fall asleep on my own
Seeing shadows 'cross the hall and now my light stays on
Heard the whispers but can't tell what they mean
I thought it was a dream, but I'm living this nightmare
Flashlight by the bed in case the power goes
Can't risk a second in the darkness when I'm all alone
Heard the voices, now they're calling to me
I thought it was a dream, but I'm living this nightmare (nightmare)

[Verse 2]
In the darkness fear comes to light
A breathless moment in a sleepless night
They say, "Hush now, honey, please don't try and fight"
Get used to this scene, it's not a dream this is real life

[Pre-Chorus]
Every evening starts the same
But I don't wan to play these games

[Chorus]
Never been the type to fall asleep on my own
Seeing shadows 'cross the hall and now my light stays on
Heard the whispers but can't tell what they mean
I thought it was a dream, but I'm living this nightmare
Flashlight by the bed in case the power goes
Can't risk a second in the darkness when I'm all alone
Heard the voices, now they're calling to me
I thought it was a dream, but I'm living this nightmare (nightmare)

[Bridge]
Footsteps down the halls, torn up walls
Lights flicker and blow
Terrors in my mind
Close my eyes, but it doesn't go
There's no end in sight
When you live inside the horror show
(Thought it's a dream, but I'm living a nightmare)
You can't run and hide
When the fright is here trapped inside
Not enough to fight
When you're blind to the monster's sight
Is this living life
Or just endless streams of fearsome night
(Thought it's a dream, but I'm living a nightmare)

[Chorus]
Never been the type to fall asleep on my own
Seeing shadows 'cross the hall and now my light stays on
Heard the whispers but can't tell what they mean
I thought it was a dream, but I'm living this nightmare
Flashlight by the bed in case the power goes
Can't risk a second in the darkness when I'm all alone
Heard the voices, now they're calling to me
I thought it was a dream, but I'm living this nightmare

[Post-Chorus]
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-nightmare
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-nightmare
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-nightmare
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-nightmare
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-nightmare
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-nightmare
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-nightmare
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-nightmare

[Chorus]
Never been the type to fall asleep on my own
Seeing shadows 'cross the hall and now my light stays on
Heard the whispers but can't tell what they mean
I thought it was a dream, but I'm living this nightmare
Flashlight by the bed in case the power goes
Can't risk a second in the darkness when I'm all alone
Heard the voices, now they're calling to me
I thought it was a dream, but I'm living this

[Outro]
Daylight's calling
Bring me to your safety
Hold my hand
Take me away from here
