In The Mouth Of Madness
Nightmares Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can see the light even though I can't reach it
But I know yeah I know one day my world will change

Standing on the edge of the world
I can see everything from across the distance
Never finding anything but a lie
Then I realized I was wrong the whole time
I've been the one to hold me back from what I could become
I've been deceiving myself from the truth




I can see the light even though I can't reach it
But I know yeah I know one day my world will change

I'll go it alone (I'll go it alone) I'll go it alone
Because I'm standing on the edge of the world
I can see everything from across the distance
Proving once and for all that I can bend the storm and stand on my own
I was face down in the dirt I was face down for so long

I can see the light even though I can't reach it
But I know yeah I know one day my world will change
And I can see the light even though I can't reach it
So I hold my breath and wait for my world to change

If you're looking for answers start asking questions
Cause you will never go back to what you were
So engrave this in your mind
Engrave this in your mind

I can see the light even though I can't reach it
But I know yeah I know one day my world will change

I can see the light even though I can't reach it
But I know yeah I know one day my world will change
And I can see the light even though I can't reach it
So I hold my breath and wait for my world to change

Yeah I hold my breath and wait
for my world to change

I know you can I know you will change
