Nightmare

Sorry, I forgot to breathe Words slip away as darkness wraps around me, oh Haunted by dreams and a feeling so morose Drifting through long, lightless nights, a marionette deposed Crushed by fear that grows heavier the more it takes hold I'm consumed by this nightmare, swept away by its force Ooh, a nightmare Hey, little mouse Ain't no need to be afraid, you don't need to get out Of this hole, out this cage, just a means to an end So obscene, so profane, I can't even pretend I'm not slightly ashamed when I sink to these depths No escape from this place, from this prison you made Ain't no need to escape, ain't no reason to run It's your choice, it's your fate, it's a grave that you dug So dig it deeper Hey, little mouse I ain't here to be a friend, I'm the fiend you let out And I'll be here til the end, in the back of your head As you lay in your bed, don't you try to pretend Like you didn't want that Sorry, I forgot to breathe Words slip away as darkness wraps around me, oh Haunted by dreams and a feeling so morose Drifting through long, lightless nights, a marionette deposed Crushed by fear that grows heavier the more it takes hold I'm consumed by this nightmare, swept away by its force Ooh, a nightmare And you try to resist, but you still take the cheese You want more, you persist, but you won't get relief And you'd trade your last breath for a moment of peace And I grin, and I laugh, and I scoff, and I seethe In contempt for the fear that you sweat You could scurry, play dead, but you always crawl back It's the closest to rest that a rodent can get It'll make you feel better if only you let Me devour what few crumbs of you's left I'm not easily fed Close your eyes Hold me tight Say goodnight One last time Sorry, I forgot to breathe Words slip away as darkness wraps around me, oh Haunted by dreams and a feeling so morose Drifting through long, lightless nights, a marionette deposed Crushed by fear that grows heavier the more it takes hold I'm consumed by this nightmare, swept away by its force Ooh, a nightmare A nightmare (A nightmare) A nightmare (A nightmare) A nightmare (A nightmare)
