Bad Dreams

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Prevail] In the beginning all I hear is people singing Deep and low with iron bells ringing And there's a source of heat near my feet I'm so weak I pass in and out of sleep Flashes of light blotches of colour I yell out for help but it's drowned out by weather Downpour torrential, power of the vengeful This was all triggered by the subconscious central Sweet dreams are hideous, let's not confuse those Bad dreams will find you, confine you to circles Every other movement is slowed by your mind That's why stabbing them blind is no crime With no REM, you're bound to cave in And life in the conscious life is quite grim If I can't escape then I'll die in my sleep 'cause the cliff is too steep and the water's too deep [Chorus: Madchild & Prevail] Sound familiar, bad dreams can kill ya Deeper the sleep the realer, man, I feel ya Bad dreams, sad scenes and fear You don't want to have to wake up here Bad dreams, you don't want to have to wake up here Bad dreams, sad scenes and fear You don't want to have to wake up here Bad Dreams, you don't want to have to wake up here [Verse 2: Madchild] I'm running down a hall with one wall of flames With friends I've never seen in my life with strange names Sound familiar bad dreams can kill ya Pain's not what it seems, cold stares and sudden screams I get in fights every night as I'm reflecting Throwing punches fast hard as I can but not connecting They're protected by a force field, locked in an engagement Until I see the colour red when pounding heads into the pavement Caught up in a chase scene or working on a plan Sometimes I'm falling and I have to wake up before I land Lots of doors to open, afraid what I might find My girlfriend getting fucked with eight more guys in line Can't wait to rise and shine when ill thoughts are provoked My girlfriend's right beside me getting choked In real life plus I heard it could get worse So much for walking in my sleep That's close to murder in the first [Chorus: Madchild & Prevail] Sound familiar, bad dreams can kill ya Deeper the sleep the realer, man, I feel ya Bad dreams, sad scenes and fear You don't want to have to wake up here Bad dreams, you don't want to have to wake up here Bad dreams, sad scenes and fear You don't want to have to wake up here Bad Dreams, you don't want to have to wake up here [Verse 3: Prevail and Madchild] They say that most people can only dream in black and white That's why he packs a knife and only reappears at night I pray for the light to turn him back to stone And shine bright enough so I can find my way home Watching myself from above and just behind Like I'm controlling video games inside my mind Be careful what you dream for because its right there Sometimes day dreams turn into nightmares I've prepared the chair Electricity rumbles through the air You don't want to have to wake up here It's cold in the morning Breath the eternal frost of our dawning Plus it's dark and damp With slight hints of death So cold I'm spitting icicles Rip right through the flesh Smoke forms with every breath The sound of children screaming Pinch myself, I have to wake up Afraid of dreaming [Chorus: Madchild & Prevail] Sound familiar, bad dreams can kill ya Deeper the sleep the realer, man, I feel ya Bad dreams, sad scenes and fear You don't want to have to wake up here Bad dreams, you don't want to have to wake up here Bad dreams, sad scenes and fear You don't want to have to wake up here Bad Dreams, you don't want to have to wake up here
