Nightmare
NateWantsToBattle Lyrics

Just Sleep, just Dream
Escape reality by going to sleep and dreaming.

In the back of my mind
Deeply buried in my thoughts and emotions.

I was trying to chase a monster this whole time
Trying to overcome my own demons without realizing it.

But I couldn't see
Blinded by my struggles and pain.

The monster was me
Realizing that I am my own worst enemy and the source of my struggles.

And no one heard our cries
Feeling alone and unheard in my struggles.

Now I've run out of tears
Exhausted from crying and feeling hopeless.

The time's come for me to disappear
Feeling like it's time to give up and disappear from the world.

Get me out of this mess
Desperately wanting to escape my struggles and pain.

And away from this stress
Needing a break from the overwhelming stress of life.

Set me free so I can rest!
Asking for someone to help me find peace and rest from my struggles.

We're only kids who lost our way
Feeling lost and overwhelmed, like a child lost in the world.

But if we wait long enough then we'll be saved
Believing that there is hope for the future if we can just hold on long enough.

This isn't fair
Feeling like life is unfair and unjust.

No we're not just what we seem
Being more complex than what others may see or understand about us.

We want to fly
Desperately yearning for something better and to break free from our struggles.

But our souls are trapped inside
Feeling stuck and unable to escape our struggles, even in our souls.

It's not a game not to play
Life isn't something to take lightly or ignore.

For fools who hide
Believing that only fools hide from their struggles and pain instead of facing them.

It's only a nightmare
Realizing that our struggles and pain won't last forever and will eventually end.

And soon we'll be set free
Believing that there is hope for the future and that our struggles will eventually end.

And I'm cryin' out for help
Desperately asking for someone to help me in my struggles and pain.

I know I'm blind but I mean well
Admitting that I may not know what's best for me, but I'm trying my best.

Can you see my disguise
Feeling like I have to hide my struggles and pain, even from those closest to me.

I'm different inside
Struggling with inner demons and feeling different from everyone around me.

Can you break this spell
Asking for someone to help break me free from my struggles and pain.

Now the ghosts from before
Haunted by past struggles and pain.

Their knocking
Being reminded of past struggles and pain in the present.

And breakin' down the door
Feeling overwhelmed and like my struggles are taking over my life.

So please set us free
Asking for help and hope for freedom from my struggles.

You have the key
Believing that someone else has the power to help me break free from my struggles.

Cause I can't take the pain no more
Feeling like my struggles and pain are too much to bear.

Just Sleep, just Dream
Escaping my struggles by going to sleep and dreaming.

It's only a nightmare
Realizing that my struggles and pain won't last forever and will eventually end.

And soon we be set free
Believing that there is hope for the future and that my struggles will eventually end.
