Suspiria
Nightmares Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know the wires inside
Separate and steal my thoughts in the night
Around and around I'm so sick of the thought
Of acting like I care just to bare this cross

Feeling too weak now
To get through you somehow
The time we wasted won't save us
I'd walk away if you give me directions
But I know you know
I've got to let go
You reap what you sow

I always feel the rain pouring over my bed
I was told forgive myself, but I'm in over my head
Someone make this stop
I can't go on for long
I'm sick of watching the clock

The time we wasted won't save us
I'd walk away if you give me directions
But I know you know
I've got to let go
You reap what you sow

The time we wasted won't save us
(I'd walk away if you would)
(I'd walk away if you would)
The time we wasted won't save us
(I'd walk away if you would)
(I'd walk away if you would)

Time has passed me by
When will I realize there is nothing more?

The time we wasted won't save us
I'd walk away if you give me directions
But I know you know
I've got to let go
You reap what you sow

The time we wasted won't save us
(I'd walk away if you would)
(I'd walk away if you would)
The time we wasted won't save us




(I'd walk away if you would)
(I'd walk away if you would)

Still Gloom

I'm really enjoying this album. Can't wait to grab a copy.

Definitely the best band Rise has picked up in some time.

DindaluLP

damn this is good. I'm glad I gave these guys I listen, I'll pick up the album on the third

Tanner Teague

People expect way too much out of this genre of music. They want every new band to bring something completely new to the table and that's honestly just unrealistic.

Seismic Janet

This has easily become one of, if not, my favorite metalcore album.

Brendan Murphy

Best thing from Rise in a long time, I think

Sad Heart

@Jared Kibler carnival of souls has a structure that no other rise band is doing. and it's just all around extremely unique to this genre. Same with Cujo
