"Bad Dreams"

(Prevail)
In the beginning all I hear is People singing
Deep and low with iron bells ringing
And there's a source of heat near my feet
I'm so weak i pass in and out of sleep
Flashes of light, blotches of colour
I yell out for help but its drowned out by weather
Down pour torrential, power of the vengeful
This was all triggered by the subconscious central
Sweet dreams are hideous lets not confuse those
Bad dreams will find you confine you to circles
Every other movement is slowed by your mind
That's why stabbing em blind is no crime
With no worrying your bound to cave in
And life in the conscious life is quite grim
If i cant escape then I'll die in my sleep
cause the cliff is too steep and the water's too deep

Sound Familiar, bad dreams can kill ya
Deep in the sleep thrilla , Man i feel ya
Bad Dreams, sad scenes and fear
You don't wanna have to wake up here
Bad Dreams
You don't wanna have to wake up here
Bad Dreams, sad scenes and fear
You don't wanna have to wake up here
Bad dreams
You don't wanna have to wake up here

(Mad Child)
I'm running down a hall with one wall of flames
With friends I've never seen in my life with strange names
Sound familiar, bad dreams can kill ya
Pains not what it seems, cold stares and sudden screams
I get in fights every night, as I'm reflecting
Throwing punches fast, hard as I can but not connecting em
Protected by a force field locked in an engagement
Still I see the colour red when pounding heads into the pavement
Caught up in a chase scene or workin on a plan
Sometimes I'm fallin and I have to wake up before I land
Lots of doors to open, afraid of what I might find
My girlfriend getting fucked with eight more guys in line
Cant wait to rise and shine when ill thoughts are provoked
(Shane wake up) My girlfriends right beside me gettin choked
In real life, Plus i heard it could get worse
So much for walkin in my sleep thats close to murder in the first

Sound Familiar, bad dreams can kill ya
Deep in the sleep thrilla , Man i feel ya
Bad Dreams, sad scenes and fear
You don't wanna have to wake up here
Bad Dreams
You don't wanna have to wake up here

(Prevail)
They say that most people can only dream in black and white
thats why he packs a knife and only reappears at night
I pray for the light to turn him back to stone
And shine bright enough so I can find my way home
(Mad Child)
Watchin myself from above and just behind
Like I'm controlling video games inside my mind
Be careful what you dream for, because its right there
Sometimes daydreams turn into nightmares
(Prevail)
I've prepared the chair, Electricity rumbles through the air
you don't wanna have to wake up here
Its cold in the morning breathe the internal frost of our dawning
(Mad Child)
Plus its dark and damp with slight hints of death
So cold i'm spitting icicles rip right through the flesh
Smoke forms with every breathe, the sound of children screamin
Pinch myself i have to wake up, afraid of dreamin

Sound Familiar, bad dreams can kill ya
Deep in the sleep thrilla , Man i feel ya
Bad Dreams, sad scenes and fear
You don't wanna have to wake up here
Bad Dreams
You don't wanna have to wake up here
Bad Dreams, sad scenes and fear
You don't wanna have to wake up here
Bad dreams
You don't wanna have to wake up here
