Defyance My Nightmare
Staring out through frozen eyes
Not seeing what I see
It's all the same
As it was the day before
Fighting back the tears
And holding on to wishful thoughts
I tried so hard
To make the feelings go away
Can't let them win again
Pictures flash before my eyes
But are the really there
For all to see
Or are the just put there for me
Faceless creatures haunt my sleep
So I dare not close my eyes again
I know they'll be waiting
There for me
(pre-chorus)
Here I am at the end of my rope
And it appears that I'm to blame
Hoping and wishing at every turn
Instead of fighting for what I knew was mine
Holding onto my dreams
I never thought it'd be so hard
But here I stand on my own
As it chills me to the bone
(chorus)
Please make my pain go away
My nightmares they haunt me in the day
Staring out through eyes of glass
That don't see what I see
Can you see them
Standing right in front of me
Fighting back the fears
And holding onto wishful thoughts
I tried so hard
To make the feelings go away
Pictures flash before my eyes
But are the really there
For all to see
Or are the just put there for me
(prechorus)
(chorus 2x)
But here I stand on my own again
Not knowing where to turn my friend
Can't you help me see the light
Scared to show my face tonight
Grabing for the sacred right
Empty hand is full of spite
(solo)
Pictures flash before my eyes
But are they really there
For all to see
Or are the just put there for
Faceless creatures haunt my sleep
So I can't close my eyes
(pre-chorus)
(chorus 2x)
