Nightmares

by Brian Medlin

/
1.
Nightmares 01:12
Nightmares (Nightness) Your insides don't count They don't exist at all Your outside acts out It moves all on it's own And you're somewhere in between Where your mind meets your dream
2.
Swing Low 03:26
Swing Low (Horror) You cast a large shadow for something that isn't real It's a growing problem, like the ringing in my ears You'll swing, swing low You'll sink, far below You leave out the best parts, and blurring all the lines It's horror and sorrow crippling me at all times You'll swing, swing low You'll sink, far below
3.
When Madness Strikes (Haunting) She arrived in her prime We watched her go by A parade for a parade We'll never treat you the same When madness strikes Those old Hollywood types She's going away But she'll be back someday She'd been dead for days Before they took her body away A parade for a parade We'll never see you the same With no eyes in her head She turned to me and she said I'm going away But I'll be back someday
4.
Light Sleeper (Despair) When it rains, it pours I'm going off the rails There's a white elephant in the room It's a giant weight pressing on you You're the face that hangs over my sleep You're that place where I count all my sheep With a grin, with a chip on the shoulder My head's in my feet There's a crawling king snake in the grass It's hiding, it's waiting for you You're the face that hangs over my sleep You're that place where I count all my sheep
5.
Rest 02:15
Rest (Pushing Up Daisies) Close your eyes and push through the smoke The other side waits, breathe it in and choke Live with this, all of that disbelief Look at him now, he's holding all his grief A gravestone with a mouthful of words Just try and rest your nerves Close your eyes and push through the smoke The other side waits, breathe it in and choke We're all part of the same fiber We're all thirty coins of silver A gravestone, forever with words Just try to rest your nerves
6.
Land Softly 03:27
Land Softly (Fright) You don’t go away, you’re a part of me And when you fly, be sure you land softly You are in my head and you’re moving fast I must be calm and wait for this to pass Bad dreams come true Demons in you Stress in your eyes Bugs crawl inside I’m spinning away There has got to be an easier way I don’t do a thing ‘cause my hands are tied I’m turning into the man that I despise It don’t go away, it’s a part of me And when I fly, be sure I land softly
