You'll stay alive
No need to cry
Baby please come to me
It's only a Bad Dream

Everything is not quite the way that it seems
When you spend your nights
Deciphering your true enemies
It was my party you see?
But the feast became deceased
With your brothers throwing you
Into the jaws of the beast
Never safe, never sleep
Not even in my own home
I'm alone on my own
Prone to fade unknown
My nightmares refrain me
From remaining sane
These chains feel like I need
Surgery on the brain
Hell has spawned
From the things that I loved
But I guess that this is just
All a part of growing up
Although terror is seeing
Demons infesting your friends
True pain is
Embracing those monsters again

You'll stay alive
No need to cry
Baby please come to me
It's only a Bad Dream
This son I vow
They can't hurt you now
So please come back to me
It's only a Bad Dream

I've embodied paranoia
Gotta jump at every sound
Something trying to take my life
Any time I turn around
This game of life is winding down
And I'm only trying to pause it
When my mind holds evils worse
Than the creatures in the closet
Flash back the past and
It passes so fast
Then there's one night until
The truth's revealed at last
Then reality's displayed
And I accept my fate
Everything will be alright
Tomorrow is another day
Betrayed and decayed
That's the role I played
Another puppet who can't dance
In their masquerade
They hate me, I'm forever
Kicked from this family
But luckily
There's another one waiting for me

You'll stay alive
No need to cry
Baby please come to me
It's only a Bad Dream
This son I vow
They can't hurt you now
So please come back to me
It's only a Bad Dream
