Nightmare

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I saw the signs The signal fires that burned atop the hill Rising tides and violent skies All the while the world was standing still Defenceless as a rat in a cage Living with our backs to the wall From the minute we wake Too sedated to notice [Chorus] We're living in a nightmare A pre-apocalyptic wasteland Is there no one who can save us If we refuse to save ourselves? Our best intentions pave our path to hеll Pave our path to hell [Verse 2] What does it mеan to be a captive In the confines of your mind? What does it mean to be a hostage To the enemy inside? We've been here before I guess we learned nothing The signs were all but ignored [Pre-Chorus] The planets collide as we all stop and stare Too jaded to notice [Chorus] We're living in a nightmare A pre-apocalyptic wasteland Is there no one who can save us If we refuse to save ourselves? Our best intentions pave our path to hell [Bridge] I see their shadows dance on the walls As voices echo in empty halls It makes my stomach sink As I close my eyes and beg for sleep [Breakdown] Chaos kills the calm Fingers through my palms I can't make it stop Somebody kick the chair and fucking wake me up [Post-Breakdown] Spare your thoughts and prayers They'll never be enough It only tightens the noose The more we struggle to cut ourselves loose Every cry rings out like a shot The streets run red as the forests wither and rot Declaring with their final breath Eternal fear is a fate worse than death Worse than death [Pre-Chorus] But no one's gonna save us If we won't fucking save ourselves Our best intentions pave our path to hell [Chorus] We're living in a nightmare (Never again will we sleep) A pre-apocalyptic wasteland (Until we are weary and weak) And there's no one who can save us If we refuse to save ourselves Our best intentions pave our path to hell [Outro] And you will see me there when they tighten the noose I deserve this just like the rest of you
