Lyrics
NIGHTMARES
Lani Ford ©?1999/2003
INTRO:
VERSE 1:
In these dirty sheets of shame I wallow
My pride, my pain I swallow.
Surrounded by my misery,
I drink another toast to me
And fall asleep to dream about tomorrow.
VERSE 2:
On these guilty streets of rain I travel
The judge has swung his gavel
Deeming me the slut I am
And I don't even give a damn
I lie awake and think I'll clean this hovel.
CHORUS:
Nightmares come
And embrace me
I feel so dumb
Can't even face me
Myself can't even seem to tell
How my shell fell into this hell
But someone...must release me.
BRIDGE:
I drink the poison,
I say the prayer,
I pray to heaven
But he don't care.
I have the wisdom
But I won't share
I'll wake up again and
That's too much to bear.
SOLO over CHORUS
VERSE 3:
Expect the worst, hope for the best.
I have to rise above the rest.
Hoping that my mind goes blind,
Don't even have time to be kind.
Pissing in the wind and heading to the west.
CHORUS TWICE
Repeat last line
