Ben Shipley - Everybody Has A Nightmare

Wake up in the city
Forty thousand people in the streets it could be fifty
Playing like a mastermind heroes are you with me
Weight of the world up on my shoulders and a half the population wants to kill me
Good luck with that

Who's that girl in the all black coat
She starts her reputation with a knife against my throat
I'm taking notes, I build a boat to hold myself hostage
Scared to lose it all, if I haven't already lost it

Nightmares
Every time I close my eyes you're right there
Gone are all the days when I could dream
I can't remember what it's like to sleep

Everybody has a nightmare
The ending of a life where
I fall down to the ground
Oh
I raise a bit of hell
I say what's left to tell and hold my breath cause
Everybody has a nightmare
Drowning in your blank stare
You send me fast asleep
Oh
I'm sinking in the deep

There's about a hundred different ways that I could die tonight
Time to write my final will and testament to mama
I'm sorry all my secrets never made it out my mouth
But the animal inside me won't stop asking to come out
I always dreamed that I would see another day
Now my dream is fading away at the renegade parade
There's a hole in my armor and she figured it out
She's gonna put me back to sleep before I bleed it all out

There's a fire burning deep inside the heart of me
I'm sorry to be negative but all I see is foolery
Maybe if I stop with all this dreaming I won't need her to believe in me
This all is temporary are you there cause

Everybody has a nightmare
The ending of a life where
I fall down to the ground
Oh
I raise a bit of hell
I say what's left to tell and hold my breath cause
Everybody has a nightmare
Drowning in your blank stare
You send me fast asleep
Oh
I'm sinking in the deep
