Elysian Jane - Nightmare Lyrics

NIGHTMARE
(Ashley Kline 2020)
Healing takes time (time)
Especially when you're the only thing that's ever
Clouding up my mind (mind)
The devil slips through cracks in walls
His fingers on my lips says to be quiet (quiet)
Nobody else can hear these voices, they're so loudplease know that i am trying (trying)
I am trying to get better, what is better?
When you feel like dying. (dying)
I don't know but i will get there when i get there will it all go silent?
I don't know but i will get there when i get there will it all go silent?
I don't know but will it all go silent....
Lets hope so cause
The voices, they follow you down halls.
Distort the pictures on the walls..
What is real? what is fake?
Am i live or have they taken me
Hostage?
Bound me down with leather ties
And feed me lies and tell me i'm
Better off dead.
No
(no-i-don't) have any purpose
Is it worth it? fighting for a life that's
So transparent?
Wake me from this nightmare
I don't care if i have to
(kick-and-scream)
Turn over every brick and every rock
Climb every mountain til i come out on top.
As her swollen feet edge toward the
Collasping mountain top,
They have surrounded her.
(please)
She looks across the sky line
And remembers a time when
They told her the mountains
Were like the spin of the line
(i don't know wanna die)
Now all that is left is a crumbling castle
Made out of shattered bones and broken promises.
She wonders to herself how something so beautiful
Turned into something so terrifying chaotic
As she falls she cries knowing this really is the end.
And as gasps
"i suddenly wake up."
