I fall asleep, dreams splattered red
When I rise, wish i was dead
Constant Hell, the nightmare lasts
Feels like my brain's in quick-sand
& I know i'm sinking fast

Feels like a maggots in my brain
(my brain!)
Drilling holes - it's insane
(insane!)
Curled like a fossil in my bed
(my bed!)
I'd rather be dead

Never learned the lesson,
Wake afraid
Nightmare vision,
Wake afraid
...wake afraid...aaah!

Wa-wake afraid
I close my eyes
& I see Hell
Wa-wake afraid
Sick twisted dreams
Of dead things that seem so real
Wa-wake afraid
I'm in a cell
Wa-wake afraid
Sick twisted life
The nightmare comes
