18. NIGHTMARE (Moon)
Lyrics up. Blog coming. Check back soon.
I open my eyes inside the dream.
I change the end.
I never have a nightmare again.
The Moon Reversed
(Nightmare)
[INTRO]
My day is already ruined
before it starts.
I spend years afraid to close my eyes.
The moon watches.
I carry fears
older than me.
I am Nightmare.
(Ghost.)
[VERSE 1]
Tired lasts all day.
Tired lasts for years.
Wasted potential.
Dream shows someone hurt me.
I carry that pain
into breakfast.
I pick fights,
don't know which reality is right.
Everything real suffers.
Heightened sensitivity.
Psychic overload.
Fear feels more real
than the kitchen table.
Sensitivity becomes burden.
Paranoia disguises intuition.
Feel everything, trust nothing.
Double-dealing is the belief —
the grief I keep while still deceived.
Ghost says:
"I don't want to wake up."
Crow says:
"The trick ends when you see it.
The deal breaks when you name it."
[PRE-CHORUS]
Haunted by things that aren't there.
Nightmare lurking, lingers past dawn.
What I feared in the dark was never there.
What I couldn't see was always me.
[CHORUS]
Nightmare, beware.
Nightmare, everywhere.
The day of nightmare
is never really a day.
Nine fears fall as tears.
The back of my head never sleeps.
Nightmare.
[VERSE 2]
Ghost lingers in fog.
I tell myself I'm done being scared.
Nightmare tests the prayer.
I share my fear with the world.
The world doesn't want it.
Ghost does.
I laugh at the idea
I could ever sleep in peace.
But something grows in me.
A Pisces child.
He sees what I see.
Feels what I feel.
I can't stay afraid
with him watching.
I go back where nightmares hide.
Prepare myself to suffer.
Lucid.
I face the dark.
Dream I'm being taken —
I change it.
Crow says:
"The boy in your belly
taught you what fear forgot —
you can change the plot."
[PRE-CHORUS]
(repeat)
[CHORUS]
(repeat)
[BRIDGE]
Subconscious whispers,
nightmare screams —
both are saying the same thing.
Crow says:
"The moon borrows light.
So does your fright.
Look now."
I open my eyes inside the dream.
I change the end.
I never have a nightmare again.
(Nightmare's gone.)
[PRE-CHORUS]
(repeat)
[CHORUS]
(repeat)
[OUTRO]
What I feared in the dark
was never there.
What I couldn't see
was always me.
I walk in daylight —
nightmare free.
What comes next?
The long night is done.
Here comes the Sun.
Crow says:
"Good morning."
