Nightmare

[00:01.89] Now I lay me down to sleep
[00:04.28] I pray the Lord, my soul to keep
[00:06.80] If I shall die before I wake
[00:09.49] I pray the Lord, my soul to take
[00:13.26] I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life
[00:17.44] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
[00:20.79] They talk shit, but I love it every time
[00:24.19] And I realize
[00:26.63] I've tasted blood and it is sweet
[00:30.00] I've had the rug pulled beneath my feet
[00:33.26] I've trusted lies and trusted men
[00:36.59] Broke down and put myself back together again
[00:39.77] Stared in the mirror and punched it to shatters
[00:42.59] Collected the pieces and picked out a dagger
[00:45.94] I've pinched my skin in between my two fingers
[00:49.10] And wished I could cut some parts off with some scissors
[00:52.61] Come on, little lady, give us a smile
[00:55.59] No, I ain't got nothin' to smile about
[00:58.71] I got no one to smile for, I waited a while for
[01:02.32] A moment to say I don't owe you a goddamn thing
[01:06.40] I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life
[01:09.93] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
[01:13.26] They talk shit, but I love it every time
[01:16.60] And I realize
[01:18.92] I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night (But hell of a night)
[01:25.32] That I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night (But hell of a night)
[01:32.35] No, I won't smile, but I'll show you my teeth
[01:35.72] And I'ma let you speak, if you just let me breathe
[01:38.96] I've been polite, but won't be caught dead
[01:42.20] Lettin' a man tell me what I should do in my bed
[01:45.79] Keep my exes in check in my basement
[01:48.35] 'Cause kindness is weakness, or worse, you're complacent
[01:51.68] I could play nice or I could be a bully
[01:54.99] I'm tired and angry, but somebody should be
[01:58.55] Come on, little lady, give us a smile
[02:01.14] No, I ain't got nothin' to smile about
[02:04.44] I got no one to smile for, I waited a while for
[02:08.04] A moment to say I don't owe you a goddamn thing
[02:12.24] I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life
[02:15.89] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
[02:19.14] They talk shit, but I love it every time
[02:22.51] And I realize
[02:24.87] I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life
[02:28.92] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
[02:32.22] They talk shit, but I love it every time
[02:35.64] And I realize
[02:37.97] Someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware
[02:44.17] But I'd rather be a real nightmare, than die unaware, yeah
[02:51.09] Someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware
[02:57.18] But I'm glad to be a real nightmare, so save me your prayers
[03:04.12] I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life
[03:08.42] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
[03:11.88] They talk shit, but I love it every time
[03:15.18] And I realize
[03:17.30] I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life
[03:21.60] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
[03:24.96] They talk shit, but I love it every time
[03:28.23] And I realize
[03:30.66] I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night (But I'm a hell of a night)
[03:36.72] That I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night (But I'm a hell of a night)
