steven murtonen - every daydream is a nightmare lyrics
[verse 1]
woke up sweaty within inches of death
there’s a hole in the ceiling that’s right above my bed
and i know, no escape this time it’s the end
slower come the seconds now that the sun has set
and the floor always beckons me to jump out of bed
but i know i can’t sleep with my head on the concrete
[pre-chorus]
but i can’t seem to find what they mean
must be reflecting something deep in my mind
that my eyes can’t see because my hopes are reveries
and it’s so hard to sleep once you’ve awakened to your dreams
during the day you may breathe, but at night your chest is pressed upon by sheets
[chorus]
every daydream is a nightmare, every yawn is a scream
you keep reality locked in there until you wake up in your dream
[verse 2]
woke up ready with an itching for breath
i am torn from the levee and thrown into the dread
i am drowning now my heart is made of led
hope my mind is kind enough to let me forget
from the thoughts that had beat my head into a mess
as i leave now from the cage that is my mattress
[pre-chorus]
[chorus]
[bridge]
after a while you’ll open up and see
after all, nightmares are just dreams that haven’t come true until they do
[pre-chorus]
[chorus]
[bridge]
after a while you’ll open up and see
after all, nightmares are just dreams that haven’t come true unless they do
[outro]
woke up sweaty within inches of death
i’ve got a hole in the ceiling that’s right above my head
woke up ready with an itching for breath
