Nightmares (I Can't Wake Up From)
Collaboration with Kenny Wilson
The voices in my head.  Confusing all my thoughts.
I hardly hear myself scream.
I pinch myself to see if I am still awake.
I find out it wasn't a dream.
The voices in my head.  So many of them now.
They never seem to go away
But the moment I see you're coming back again
I just can't deal with all the pain.

I'm done with you.  I've had enough of the pain.
I'm going back to the place from whence I came.
Where I'm from, nobody's ever ashamed
But after being with you, I know nothing's the same.
I felt so hurt.  You just made me sick, see?
You made me cry and almost end life quickly.
I hated the feeling of being dirty and used.
Gave you my heart and my love you abused.

The voices in my head are so loud, I can't hear myself scream
But then I wake up and realize, it wasn't a dream.
The voices in my head are still here.  They just won't go away
But then I see you and realize, you're not worth the pain.

These are my nightmares.  These are my dreams.
In reality, I have realized it was a scheme.
Seeing angels with pitchforks.  How funny it seems.
The irony of it is almost as bad as your greed.
This was my heaven.  A vision of us
And instead of my trust, you had held true to your lust.
Maybe in a former life, you might have cared
That you were a dream come true turned into a nightmare.

The voices in my head are so loud, I can't hear myself scream
But then I wake up and realize, it wasn't a dream.
The voices in my head are still here.  They just won't go away
But then I see you and realize, you're not worth the pain.

I used to dream.
Everything was perfect.  It was just you and me.
It turned into a nightmare.
We became total strangers.  Everything was just out there.
Now the truth comes out.
You never really cared.  Sex was what it all was about.
I'm sick of the pain.
I fell in love with you.  I have myself to blame.

The voices in my head are so loud, I can't hear myself scream
But then I wake up and realize, it wasn't a dream.
The voices in my head are still here.  They just won't go away
But then I see you and realize, you're not worth the pain.
