Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Wake up screaming But I never left the dream Teeth like broken churches Every shadow wants to feed on me Windows breathing Walls are crawling up my spine Clock hands dripping Every second tastes like cyanide [Pre-Chorus] I claw the dark Till my fingers split I beg the dawn But the sun won't hit [Chorus] This is my living nightmare Eyes wide Chained to the fear Can't kill what crawls in my head I'm dying alive in this bed This is my living nightmare Cold hands under my skin If I sleep I sink in the black If I wake It drags me back [Verse 2] Floorboards whisper Calling me by every sin Mirrors cracking Show a face that isn't mine grinning in Breath like sulfur Hear a choir made of knives Every heartbeat Is a war drum counting down my life [Pre-Chorus] I bite my tongue Just to taste I'm here But the blood runs black And it laughs in my ear (hey!) [Chorus] This is my living nightmare Eyes wide Chained to the fear Can't kill what crawls in my head I'm dying alive in this bed This is my living nightmare Cold hands under my skin If I sleep I sink in the black If I wake It drags me back [Bridge] [ guitars scream Drums surge into double-time ] Candlelight goes blue All the ghosts wear my face Every promise I broke Scratched in claws on the gates If this hell is a home Then I'm nailed to the door Kiss the terror goodnight It just hungers for more (for more) [Chorus] This is my living nightmare Eyes wide Chained to the fear Can't kill what crawls in my head I'm dying alive in this bed This is my living nightmare Cold hands under my skin If I sleep I sink in the black If I wake It drags me back [Outro] Living nightmare Still awake in the dark Living nightmare Hear it feast on my heart
