Song lyrics

[Intro: Danny]
When I close my eyes and I try to sleep
The weight of the world falls down on me.
It's all a part of my nightmare, part of my nightmare,
Part of my nightmare, part of my nightmare.

[Verse 1: J-Dog]
Sick, inside of bed, infected with the feelings
Staring up like my dreams were projected on the ceiling
I can see it, I want the money and the fame too.
They told me when you get it, never let it change you.
And finally I've morphed into everything I tried to be.
The fucking irony, as everybody's got their eye on me.
Society, quickly became my rivalry
Driving me off the deep end, then doubt starts to creep in.
Fairweather, they're never there, do I need friends? We eating
But will they stick around when the feast ends?
You say you love me when it's glitter and gold
But when it's bitter and cold, would you deliver my soul
Or just cut me out the picture and roll?
Love is pain and it's taking its toll, feel like I've wasted my whole life
Always working, searching for some shit
Trying to live a life that's perfect, but perfect don't exist.

[Chorus: Danny]
When I close my eyes and I try to sleep
The weight of the world falls down on me.
It's all a part of my nightmare, part of my nightmare,
Part of my nightmare, part of my nightmare.
Spent my whole life chasing after dreams
But every dream turns out to be
Just a part of my nightmare, part of my nightmare,
Part of my nightmare, part of my nightmare.

[Verse 2: Johnny 3 Tears]
Help me, no, I can't help myself.
Help me to believe that I'm somebody else
Not some fucking addict who can't dream 'cause his habits
Are chopped up on a table till he screams, "let me have it".
Fuck it, what's a life anyway, huh?
You hear about that kid who died again today, huh?
I'd pull my fucking guts out just to make you understand
That I've become a ghost, I am a ghost, I'm not a man.
Why can't I fucking say it? They'd say that I'm insane.
But in a song they'd play it 'cause they understand the pain.
What the fuck is going on? Who am I?
Life is just so fucking long, I wanna...
Forgive me, don't forget me, believe you can protect me.
It's just a song, I've venting with the verse that's never-ending.
And I have finally lost, the world has finally won.
Dear God, did you forget your son?

[Chorus: Danny]
When I close my eyes and I try to sleep
The weight of the world falls down on me.
It's all a part of my nightmare, part of my nightmare,
Part of my nightmare, part of my nightmare.
Spent my whole life chasing after dreams
But every dream turns out to be
Just a part of my nightmare, part of my nightmare,
Part of my nightmare, part of my nightmare.

[Verse 3: Charlie Scene]
Can't find a reason why, don't know why I even try.
I pray when I sleep at night so at least I'll die a decent guy.
When I look in the mirror and say hi, I can't look me in the eye.
We're both ashamed of the guy on the other side.
Can't find my peace and quiet, some things are better left in silence.
It's me who needs some guidance, or maybe what I need is violence
When I'm having a meltdown, can't ask for help now.
Got so much self-doubt that I weird myself out, can you help out?
So many selfish phobias like self-inflicted loneliness.
Sometimes I get so low in this empty search for holiness.
Can't seem to find a reason why, I don't know why I even try.
These demons, they won't let me sleep at night, they're killing my dreams, they need me to die.
But fuck it, I got nothing left to say.
We're all gonna die anyway.
Shit could happen to me any day.
I just spit thirty-two and didn't say a damn thing.
