I let you in
You sunk your knife so deep
Under my skin
And cut my heart from me
Where did you go?
Where's the person you used to be?
I don't know you and you don't know me
You're all alone and you only refuse to see
Let me show you what you can't show me
I will erase the nightmare you became
It comes in waves, you're everything I hate
You try to drag me down
I'll cut you out and now
I will erase the nightmare you became
Nightmare
You're in my head
Buried so deep inside
You want me dead
But I feel so alive
Look at you now that there's nowhere for you to run
I cut you out and the pain is gone
I had my doubts when it started to come undone
You fucked around and you broke my trust
I will erase the nightmare you became
It comes in waves, you're everything I hate
You try to drag me down
I'll cut you out and now
I will erase the nightmare you became
Nightmare
Now I lay me down to sleep
You're the devil in my dreams
Swear to god ,I will erase this nightmare you became
Now I lay me down to sleep
You're the devil in my dreams
Swear to god, I will erase this nightmare you became, fuck
I will erase the nightmare you became
It comes in waves, you're everything I hate
You try to drag me down
I'll cut you out and now
I will erase the nightmare you became
Nightmare
You sunk your knife so deep
Under my skin
And cut my heart from me
Where did you go?
Where's the person you used to be?
I don't know you and you don't know me
You're all alone and you only refuse to see
Let me show you what you can't show me
I will erase the nightmare you became
It comes in waves, you're everything I hate
You try to drag me down
I'll cut you out and now
I will erase the nightmare you became
Nightmare
You're in my head
Buried so deep inside
You want me dead
But I feel so alive
Look at you now that there's nowhere for you to run
I cut you out and the pain is gone
I had my doubts when it started to come undone
You fucked around and you broke my trust
I will erase the nightmare you became
It comes in waves, you're everything I hate
You try to drag me down
I'll cut you out and now
I will erase the nightmare you became
Nightmare
Now I lay me down to sleep
You're the devil in my dreams
Swear to god ,I will erase this nightmare you became
Now I lay me down to sleep
You're the devil in my dreams
Swear to god, I will erase this nightmare you became, fuck
I will erase the nightmare you became
It comes in waves, you're everything I hate
You try to drag me down
I'll cut you out and now
I will erase the nightmare you became
Nightmare
