Eyes slam open, premature awakening
Cliffhanging bed of sweat-drenched sheets, teeters at the edge
Curiosity could kill, if it were reality
But inherent protection from death beckons re-entry
Back into bed to tip it over the cliff
Plunging body and bed back into the seas of sleep

Back into the nightmare
Back into the horror

Cannot resist, must see where it leads
Back into sleep, time to finish the nightmare
Finish the nightmare!

Learning to love fighting nightmares as they come
Learning to love fighting nightmares as they come

For every dream to be lived, there are nightmares to be paid!
For every dream to be lived, there are nightmares to be paid!

Mental virtual simulation
As if burned into film
In the leading part
Of a horror story
Back into bed to tip it over the cliff
Plunging body and bed back into the seas of sleep

Back into the nightmare
Back into the horror

Learning to love fighting nightmares as they come
Learning to love fighting nightmares as they come
Never want to live someone else's life
Never want to live someone else's lie
