Nightmare

Head by the phone Who coulda known that a toss and a turn Would really burn when you alone But if we gon' keep back and forth like a shuttle Can't think of one reason we should Too much stimulation 'fore I sleep (Yeah) I keep the phone right by my pillow While I'm waitin' for you To make the convo complete I do this every week Or more like every night Avoid the darkness 'Cause for me it's a terrible sight Torment and derision Silhouettes hogging my vision They line up by my side Demand unholy provision It's the middle of June And they bring a chill to my room My sheets hang on me like lead Still I keep you in my head You could be a siren calling my ship to wreck A severed spirit longing for possession yet Ariadne with a thread of blood instead of gold Leading me into crevices with horrors untold You could be the monsters swirling beneath the sea A thunderstorm as a warning I wouldn't heed If I have to see terror when I'm asleep Then yours is the face that I'll meet in the deep You could be my You could be my nightmare You could be my nightmare You could be my nightmare You could be my nightmare I check my phone before I sleep Keep refreshing every window Waiting for you to make the convo complete Are you here with me I feel your presence like an echo Always around me but I can't ever see, peep Shadowy limbs, tucking me in, so steep Night after night, killing my cries, no weeping Sing me a song, I'll play along my sweet Your lips are like knives, they shut my eyes, no peeking You could be a siren calling my ship to wreck A severed spirit longing for possession yet Ariadne with a thread of blood instead of gold Leading me into crevices with horrors untold You could be the monster swirling beneath the sea A thunderstorm as a warning I wouldn't heed If I have to see terror when I'm asleep Then yours is the face that I'll meet in the deep You could be my You could be my nightmare You could be my nightmare You could be my nightmare You could be my nightmare
