Nightmare
Myles Marcus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I hear whispers in the dark voices stabbing at my heart all the time, is it all in my mind
I see faces in the crowd, but they all look different now Is it me, do my eyes deceive


Is it real or just the sugar coated fantasy
swimming through my bloodstream
Heavy still I’m getting close to the ground
gravity’s pulling me down

I gotta break free
I gotta get out of my own head
I’m walking around in this nightmare
Somebody Wake me up Wake Me up
I gotta break free
I gotta get out of my own head
I’m walking around in this nightmare
Somebody Wake me up
Wake Me up

I see shadows in the air hollow faces turning, staring at me, tell me how can this be?
Phantoms dancing everywhere tired of always being scared Is it me, Can’t go back to sleep


Is it real or just the sugar coated fantasy
swimming through my bloodstream
Heavy still I’m getting close to the ground
gravity’s pulling me down


I gotta break free
I gotta get out of my own head
I’m walking around in this nightmare
Somebody Wake me up Wake Me up
I gotta break free
I gotta get out of my own head
I’m walking around in this nightmare
Somebody Wake me up
Wake Me up



I’m in prison inside my mind
Can't make it to the door
These dark hallucinations keep unsettling me
You're not welcome anymore

Is it real
Or just a sugar coated fantasy


I gotta break free
I gotta get out of my own head
I’m walking around in this nightmare
Somebody Wake me up Wake Me up
I gotta break free
I gotta get out of my own head
I’m walking around in this nightmare




Somebody Wake me up
Wake Me up
