The Veer Union - Nightmare

I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life

I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

They talk shit, but I love it every time

And I realize

I've tasted blood and it is sweet

I've had the rug pulled beneath my feet

I've trusted lies and trusted men

Broke down and put myself back together again

Stared in the mirror and punched it to shatters

Collected the pieces and picked out the dagger

I've pinched my skin in between my two fingers

And wished I could cut some parts off with some scissors

Come on could you maybe give me a smile

No, I ain't got nothing to smile about

I got no one to smile for, I've waited a while for

A moment to say "I don't owe you a Goddamn thing"

I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life

I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

They talk shit, but I love it every time

And I realize

No sweet dream but I'm a hell of a night

That I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night

No, I won't smile, but I'll show you my teeth

And I'ma let you speak if you just let me breathe

I've been polite, but won't be caught dead

Let her in tell me what I should do in my bed

Keep my exes in check in my basement

'Cause kindness is weakness, or worse, you're complacent

I could play nice, or I could be a bully

I'm tired and angry, but somebody should be

Come on could you maybe give me a smile

No, I ain't got nothing to smile about

I got no one to smile for, I've waited a while for

A moment to say "I don't owe you a Goddamn thing"

I keep a record of the wreckage in my life

I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

They talk shit, but I love it every time

And I realize

I keep a record of the wreckage in my life

I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

They talk shit, but I love it every time

And I realize

Someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware

And I'd rather be a real nightmare than die unaware

Someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware

But I'm glad to be a real nightmare, so save me your prayers

I keep a record of the wreckage in my life

I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

They talk shit, but I love it every time

And I realize

Now Im a nightmare (I gotta weapon in my mind)

Now Im a nightmare (I gotta weapon in my mind)

Someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware

Now Im a nightmare (The real nightmare)

Now Im a nightmare (The real nightmare)

And I'd rather be a real nightmare than die unaware

I'm hell of nightmare
