I'm fighting
over your lies
I'm crawling
over to my tree
these bleeding leafs
is all I ever see
In the shapes of hearts
they fall
and fall
into the muddy puddle
to be stomped on
thrashed and scratched
torn and tattered
until they're nothing at all
does this sound familiar?
the way you left me?
you cheated me out of a chance
to show you who i am
my ribs ripped open
the heart i own is exposed
but you took your dagger
with one thrust
i fell to your feet
gripping this old worn sheets
I Awake from my dream

I sleep at night
the way i used to
before i ever saw you.
Sometimes i awake at night
screaming to the thoughts
the way we were
the way i held you tight
the way you looked that night
It was love at first sight
but i can no longer fight.
this war you have one
take your trophy,
my scarred and worn heart
put it on your golden shelve
showed it to your friends
have them hold it
smash it
crush it
play ball with it
I'm done with it
just remove the lead balls
from the shell of a shotgun
you shot to pierce my soul
and when i awake at night
screaming again
i'll fall back to sleep
knowing your image
is nothing more
then a nightmare
tonight.

You walk by me so much
i just want a touch
of the drug called love
suck it through the needle
so i can shoot it up
into my veins
it will stay
but eventually i will pay.
you left me again
have i once more sinned?
why am i caring so much for you?
the pain you caused
the life i've lost
it's been given to you by court order
do i still have to cross the border
to get away from your sight?
i will flee once more
i shall take flight tonight
and see if these winds
will clear my mind
of your memory
my nightmare

can you say i was a mistake?
or are you mine?
i don't know what to say
so i'll just fade away
come on babe
just tell me my wrong
and i'll stay out of your life
forever
just like you want it
the way you make me feel about it
i'll break my addiction
and check into rehab
won't that be so "fab"?
i hope your friend helps you through your issues
the way i was going to
you refused to talk
even after i removed your stitches
i'm tired of trying
tired of lying
so through me into the sea
and let me sink deep
tonight i will sleep with the fishes
becoming an accessory to the ocean floor
with the love boat
that sunk so long ago.

I sleep at night
the way i used to
before i ever saw you.
Sometimes i awake at night
screaming to the thoughts
the way we were
the way i held you tight
the way you looked that night
It was love at first sight
but i can no longer fight.
this war you have one
take your trophy,
my scarred and worn heart
put it on your golden shelve
showed it to your friends
have them hold it
smash it
crush it
play ball with it
I'm done with it
just remove the lead balls
from the shell of a shotgun
you shot to pierce my soul
and when i awake at night
screaming again
i'll fall back to sleep
knowing your image
is nothing more
then a nightmare
tonight.

Nightmares are when the one thing you feared...comes to life...maybe a past memory will haunt your dreams, telling you what you should and shouldn't do, or what you should or shouldn't have done. I'll tell you one thing. This nightmare is no fun.
