Nightmares Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I hear the sins of the night, they’re calling my name
Try to lead me into their wild wicked games (Oh yeah)
But I fight back with power of hearing your voice
You take my hand, eternal wonderland
[Chorus]
I don’t see the nightmares, not anymore
I don’t feel the dark freezing my core
I don’t get too lost in myself
Or let fear crawl in under my skin
When I let you in
I don’t see the nightmares, not anymore
I don’t feel the pain draining my soul
I don’t let the devils on walls
Turn the lullabies dead in my head
Goodbye my ni—, nightmares
[Post-Chorus]
Na, na, na
Na, na, night—
[Verse 2]
When my mind is out of line and only drifting out there (Gasping for air)
The sweetest dream feels like it’s million hours away, no, no
But you fight back for the love that almost died in me
And I swear
[Chorus]
I don’t see the nightmares, not anymore
I don’t feel the dark freezing my core
I don’t get too lost in myself
Or let fear crawl in under my skin
When I let you in
I don’t see the nightmares, not anymore
I don’t feel the pain draining my soul
I don’t let the devils on walls
Turn the lullabies dead in my head
Goodbye my ni—, nightmares
[Post-Chorus]
Na, na, na
Na, na, nightmares
I don’t see, I don’t see them anywhere
[Chorus]
I don’t see the nightmares, not anymore
I don’t feel the dark freezing my core
I don’t get too lost in myself
Or let fear crawl in under my skin
Nightmare
I don’t feel the dark freezing my core
I don’t get too lost in myself
Or let fear crawl in under my skin
When I let you in
I don’t see the nightmares, not anymore
I don’t feel the pain draining my soul
I don’t let the devils on walls
Turn the lullabies dead in my head
Goodbye my ni—, nightmares
