Lyrics
Afraid to fall asleep
And face you in my dreams
Your eyes turn from blue to red
You're the monster underneath my bed
I am haunted by your memories
And I keep hearing all these taps and creaks
Now I wonder if you are to blame
Cause these dreams don't really feel the same
No these dreams don't really feel the same
Save me from this nightmare
No I can not bare
And now you've trapped me here
In this nightmare
Oh this nightmare
The clock ticks on by
While I wait for my demise
I try to stay awake
But how long will it take
To be free from these sleepless nights
This creation my mind designed
Is there a key that I can find
To change the game
Cause these dreams don't really feel the same
Save me from this nightmare
No I can not bare
And now you've trapped me here
In this nightmare
Oh this nightmare
Please save me
Cause I'm drowning in this fantasy
Oh I can breathe
Cause I'm drowning in this fantasy
Save me from this nightmare
No I can not bare
And now you've trapped me here
In this nightmare
Oh this nightmare
