Nightmares

 


I'm afraid to sleep things racing through my mind

I didn't know that this experience would affect so much of my mind.

 

Nightmares of a murderer.

 

Trying to keep a smile on my face and take it day by day.

Why wasn't I able to keep the baby?

 

Nightmares of a murderer.

 

Right now I'm so down and feel myself falling into a deep depression.

If I would have waited a moment longer my family would be following behind my funeral procession.

 

Nightmares of a murderer.

 

Couldn't keep this from you, you saw right through me.

You were there to comfort me while harboring your own feelings.

 

My nightmares becomes yours.

 

Your stride is a little shorter, there’s gloom in your eyes

You know it's not my fault but the situation you despise.

It gets easier to deal with, the thoughts we start to bare

 

No more running from our sleep

No more chilling nightmares
