Nightmares

The barren trees are in my mind
The moon is lurking just behind
Lighting up the deep blue sky,
She shows the broken path
That winds through the darkness, and
Leads to the place that
I don't want to see, but I know it exists

The house with the ivy is creeping up on me
It whispers 'don't try to resist'
My fear's taking hold, I'm losing control,
As the sound of her laughter turns me to stone
I'm screaming out loud but nothing comes out

Please take me from this
Nightmare! You just can't let me go
How did it get so cold
Your love is my disease, it's slowly killing me
Let me go!

The candle flickers but the flame it still burns strong
I see a glimpse of your reflection for a moment, then it's gone
But don't stare too long, into the shadows (or they'll stare right back at you)
Stripping back your skin from bone until your souls exposed
The pain reminds you of the thing you've always known

You're scared of being alone
My heart is pounding in the back of my chest
As I feel your cold breath on the back of my neck
I'm screaming out loud, but nothing comes out
Please take me from this
Nightmare! You just can't let me go
How did it get so cold
Your love is my disease, it's slowly killing me
Let me go

The ghosts, the ghosts they're talking to me,
The voices in my head consume me
They're calling out my name, take me from this
The ghosts, the ghosts they're talking to me
The voices in my head consume me
They're calling out my name, take me from this.

(The ghosts, the ghosts they're talking to me
The voices in my head consume me)
You just can't let me go
(The ghosts, the ghosts, they're talking to me
The voices in my head consume me)
You've got to let me go
