I woke up once around midnight in a nightmare that took the form of real life I saw you standing outside, the past reattached to your ripped shorts and tortured expression. The truth of that past finally passed our hesitant lips Every betrayal, was like a gust of wind taking us to our knees without a fight I watched as every friend we ever knew turned their backs and walked away from us As if walking away from a nameless headstone in a quiet, forgotten graveyard. I woke up once around midnight in a nightmare that took the form of real life It changed everyone we knew And I've been trying to wake up from the nightmare ever since.

Midnight Nightmare
I woke up once around midnight in a nightmare that took the form of real life I saw you standing outside, the past reattached to your ripped shorts and tortured expression. The truth of that past finally passed our hesitant lips Every betrayal, was like a gust of wind taking us to our knees without a fight I watched as every friend we ever knew turned their backs and walked away from us As if walking away from a nameless headstone in a quiet, forgotten graveyard. I woke up once around midnight in a nightmare that took the form of real life It changed everyone we knew And I've been trying to wake up from the nightmare ever since.
