My Worst Nightmare

Lyrics

[Intro] I had this dream the other night One of those I know I won't forget I'm glad you're still alive Here's how it went! [Verse 1] That was close The cabinet was open with a log burning in the fire Or at least I was told I was sleeping on the floor with family all around All said quiet but it's not [?] Finally awake and I get up to my feet Need to find out what disturbed my sleep Everything was so nice in the bed That's when the nightmare began I take a deep breathe in There's something in the air tonight What to do, how do I do it? This scent I've smelled this one before I think it's coming from beneath the floor Walk down the hall, it starts getting loud There's a gas leak, got to get the family out! [Chorus] I cannot save myself 'Cause others need my help I don't know what to do If only I had knew So I make myself save the life of someone else I guess I'll go back into within home and let me get my friends [Verse 2] One by one I try to get them out the room Something's gonna blow Wish I had a gun to fire a shot straight up in the air It would scare them to death but right now I don't care They've got to get out of this house as fast as they can Cause once that fire meets the gas, the shit's gonna hit the fan But they're not gonna hear my cries They're all slipping into sleep If it wasn't for the strength that I lack I'd carry them all on my back Outside and away from the danger Feeling like some kind of rescue ranger Pick em up, take em up, lay em on the floor Run little one to save one more [Chorus] I cannot save myself 'Cause others need my help I don't know what to do If only I had knew So I make myself save the life of someone else I couldn't go back into within home and let me get my friend I cannot save myself 'Cause others need my help I don't know what to do If only I had knew So I make myself save the life of someone else I couldn't go back into within home and let me get my friends [Break] The sky's burning red And I can hear the people shout So I know again I need something to make it back out [Verse 3] Search the house and is there everybody left? Poisonous gas that I'm huffing every breath Know that any second this house is gonna blow This is not the way that I thought it would go Even if I run away Got me on the couch, it's too late In between my knees as I clench to life But it's the death that awaits [Bridge] Feel air burn hot Red heat my hand No pain, just flame Now sight is black [Outro] I just died in my sleep Can't believe this would happen to me And I heard this guy in real life But I know it's not my time Bright blue light shines in my eyes Looking him up to climb the skies But what if I happened and there was nothing there? Now you know my worst nightmare! Now you know my worst nightmare! Now you know my worst nightmare! Now you know my worst nightmare!
