Nightmares

Nightmares terrify me in my own home
They just won't leave me the fuck alone
Got to fight these nightmares on my own
They leave me mentally torn
They leave me mentally weak
They leave me physically weak
They leave me so tired I don't even want to speak
Just trying to focus on tonight's sleep
If the nightmares show up
It won't surprise me
Cause nightmares are all I see

Nightmares are all I see
Whenever I dose off
Whenever I close my eyes to go to sleep
It doesn't seem like I'll be able to shake them
Like Harlem
In the middle of the night
They always wake me up
Like what the fuck?
Giving me night sweats
While still shivering
Bitch I'm figuring out
What to do about
These nightmares that keep me up
Haven't had a good nights sleep in months
Thanks to these nightmares
I'm waking up every couple of hours
Trying to find all the answers
Not sleeping is killing me
Tired all day, everyday
Slowly drifting away
Barely staying awake
Throughout the day
Gotta get rid of these nightmares
Keeping me up like bright flares

Nightmares terrify me in my own home
They just won't leave me the fuck alone
Got to fight these nightmares on my own
They leave me mentally torn
They leave me mentally weak
They leave me physically weak
They leave me so tired I don't even want to speak
Just trying to focus on tonight's sleep
If the nightmares show up
It won't surprise me
Cause nightmares are all I see

Don't really understand what they are showing me
They are showing up more and more frequently
Every night they're haunting me
Keeping me
From a deep sleep
Every morning I wake up so weak
Just leave me alone
Don't want to speak
Just wanna stay home
And try to catch up on some sleep
Fuck these nightmares
Twisting and turning
Falling while rolling
Affecting my learning
Constantly roaming
Sweating and burning
Shivering and freezing
Making no sense
But it is what it is
That's what these nightmares do
Constantly scaring you
Making me fear
That clock closing in on night
Trying to fight
The urge to fall asleep
Cause I know I'll be back up fighting
In an hour or two
If I'm lucky I might just get a few
More hours to chill
Instead of adrenaline pumping me for the thrill
But that's not usually the case
Always have to go face to face
With these demons and nightmares
Gotta find a way to fight them off
Can't live the rest of my life like this
Not sleeping will eventually catch up to me
And I ain't ready for that time
For that time to come around
Where I can no longer stand my ground
Where I feel to weak to leave my bed
Where I might need to depend on meds
Gotta get sleep into my head
Before these nightmares dictate my end
Before I'm internally stuck here
Trapped with all these nightmares
