[Verse 1]
I shut my eyes, you crawl in
Through the crack in my window grin
Cold little fingers on my spine
You know my fear, you know my mind
You wear my face like a joke
You leave it hanging in the smoke
Every shadow learns my name
And you laugh like it's a game
[Pre-Chorus]
Say my name
Then fade away
I hear you breathe
Inside the dark
You pull the thread
You pick the lock
And here you come
Back to my heart
[Chorus]
Nightmares, nightmares
You own my sleep
Nightmares, nightmares
You bury me deep
Nightmares, nightmares
I hear you laugh
Nightmares, nightmares
And I wake up mad
[Nightmares]
Nightmares, nightmares
You won't let go
[Verse 2]
The ceiling turns to rotten rain
My pillow tastes like iron chains
I run, but every door is mine
You paint the walls with crooked signs
A doll in the hall, head down low
That tiny tune, that broken glow
And in the glass, your mouth splits wide
Like you just moved in here tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
Say my name
Then fade away
I hear you breathe
Inside the dark
You pull the thread
You pick the lock
And here you come
Back to my heart
[Chorus]
Nightmares, nightmares
You own my sleep
Nightmares, nightmares
You bury me deep
Nightmares, nightmares
I hear you laugh
Nightmares, nightmares
And I wake up mad
[Nightmares]
Nightmares, nightmares
You won't let go
[Bridge]
[Breakdown]
When the room goes thin
And the walls lean in
I taste that fear
At the edge of my skin
You can stalk my dreams
But you can't keep me
I bite back hard
I break free
[Final Chorus]
Nightmares, nightmares
You own my sleep
Nightmares, nightmares
You bury me deep
Nightmares, nightmares
I hear you laugh
Nightmares, nightmares
And I wake up mad
Nightmares, nightmares
I spit your name
Nightmares, nightmares
You lose your game
Nightmares, nightmares
I'm not your home
Nightmares, nightmares
Now leave me alone
