I'm A Nightmare

I’m a nightmare baby
I was born in this Savage Land
This barren desert where you lost your heart
Upon the burning sand
I am the poison door inside your mind
The venom in your veins
I am the raw impulses motivating
Every thought sent from your brain

So you’ve been outcast from the outcasts
Because you’re not that brand of weird
You refuse to grow your hair down long
And grow a fucking beard
I know you grew up inside a living hell
A child full of despair
Suffocating in a stagnant town
Without a breath for air

I transform into a nightmare when the sun falls from the sky
I explode into a cloud of smoke and disappear before your eyes
You feel a little paranoia as I absorb into your skin
A restless panic feeling starts a thrashing from within

You followed the righteous path, I know
You followed every word
But you grew wise enough to realize
It was backwards and absurd
You can ruin your life in your own way
Any way that you should choose
Cause your whole world is an explosive
And now it’s time to light the fuse

It’s been so long since the sun has shone
In your general direction
Your electrical outlets do not work
Due to inferior connection
You’re just a lonesome drifter
Just a mindless, wayward being
You know your life is just a dead end road
And really doesn’t mean a thing

And that’s where I come in. You know we’re partners in our crimes
You turn to me for your sinful thoughts of lust every single time
I’m a nightmare and I live behind the your every whispered breath
I’ve followed you throughout your life and I will be there at your death
