The Nightmares That You Gave Me

In my greatest time of need

You promised you would never leave

But you were the one who caused this

Now I’m just a carcass

An empty shell of a person

It’s beginning to worsen

And I can hardly breath.

1...2...3...

And I can hardly see.

1...2...3...

On the count of three.

1...2...3...

Cock! Pop! Blow!

And now I'm laying on the ground

Velvet blood spills all around

My head is pounding like a heartbeat

Why do I still have a heartbeat?

I should be up with the angels

What happened to my morals?

And now look at me.

4...5...6…

I must be really sick.

4...5...6…

When I count to six.

4...5...6…

Maybe you’ll walk in the door...

And this is all because of you

Must have had a guru

Drove me to this madness

It’s become your habit

Maybe now you’ll see

What you did to me

This is my nightmare.

But I’m not in my nightwear

Wish that I could wake up

This blood is only makeup

But I guess it’s too late

The wound looks far too ornate

7...8...9...10...

And now I’m lying dead...

7...8...9...10...

Thanks to a sickness in both our heads...
