Nightmares

[Verse 1]

Embalmed with the fairy tales

Tangled webs and happy trails

Melted chocolate eyes and thrill

Smile sweet and ever still

But bubbling underneath

A fever threaten sleep

I watched you wake, and gasp for air

And held you through your night tears

Held you through the nightmares

The cancer crept through your skin

The shame eats at your purse and skirt

Should've known the way you leapt from him

Buried his love beneath slandered hills

[Verse 2]

He lost his place, you lost your taste

Added me upon your plate

To settle down the belly ache

Shame you learned at early age

Your mother taught your father hate

Raised yourself on borrowed praise

To coat the mold that fill your place

[Verse 3]

And now hell warms your embrace

A bird rattling within uncaged thoughts

You're terrified of flying when your wings are clipped

Living in a cage that's cracked and barely bends

You're terrified of flying when your wings are clipped

Living in a cage that's cracked and barely bends

You watch as life passes you by

And

Pictures moving as you wipe your eyes

[Verse 4]

I stayed there with you for a time

You dress your wounds in silken lies

You wove your fabric next to mine

My closet filled with dirt and grime

No bleach will lift these stains of mine
