Nightmares

[Verse 1]

I could sleep forever and still feel tired, so tired
I've grown numb to the touch of the fire, of the fire
And at times I guess, I wonder, oh, I wonder
If I'm even aware of the pressure I'm under, yeah
Cause I feel lower than I've ever been before, oh
But I continue to pile on, I like I don't care anymore
And I'm surprised that any effort is still enough, is still enough, still enough
But one of these days, I will erupt, I guess I'm giving up so

[Chorus]

Tell me why I should wake from this nightmare, even in my dreams I fall
Why should I care at all?
Tell me why I should wake from this nightmare, when even in my dreams I fall
Why should I care at all?

[Verse 2]

Watching my world fall down around me
And every sunny day, clouds come out to down me, hey
And the phone only rings when the bill is fucking due to down me (???)
So is there anybody else around me, I'm drowning
Oh, what I will do for a chance to start over
[Love to think I'm not ok]
Maybe this time I wouldn't stay so sober
[To drink this shit all away]
So say goodbye to this chapter of my life, and I'll see you on page two
And eventually I'll be a winner, passer-by and (??) from me to you, thank you

[Chorus]

Tell me why I should wake from this nightmare, even in my dreams I fall
Why should I care at all?
Tell me why I should wake from this nightmare, when even in my dreams I fall
Why should I care at all?
