explains things that went thru Tims head on a daily basis.....

some of the words to this song u may not understand but what i take from it is part the illness talking to his head part the band members feelings for what he was going thru and part the distortion that takes place in a persons head who deals with this disease of schitzophrenia/schitzo effective disorder. these may seem to make people sad for me its very therapeutic. and i feel it just explains so much that so many people dont understand.

NIGHTMARE!


Now your nightmare comes to life.

Dragged you down below
Down to the devils show
To be his guest forever

Peace of mind is less than never

Hate to twist your mind
But God ain't on your side
An old acquaintance severed
Burn the world your last endeavor

Flesh is burning
You can smell it in the air
Cause men like you have such an easy soul to steal (steal)

So stand in line while they ink numbers in your head
You're now a slave until the end of time here
Nothing stops the madness turning, haunting, yearning pull the trigger

You should have known
The price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here

Yeah
Oooooooh
It's your fucking nightmare

While your nightmare comes to life
Can't wake up in sweat
Cause it ain't over yet
Still dancing with your demons

Beyond the will to fight
Where all that's wrong is right
Where hate don't need a reason
Loathing self-assassination
You've been lied to
Just to rape you of your sight
And now they have the nerve to tell you how to feel (feel)
So sedated as they medicate your brain
And while you slowly go insane they tell ya
"Given with the best intentions, help you with your complications"

You should have known
The price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here

Yeah

No one to call
Everybody to fear
Your tragic fate
Is looking so clear

Yeah
Oooooooh
It's your fucking nightmare
HA! HA! HA! HA!

Fight (Fight! ). not to fail (fail! )
Not to fall (fall! )
Or you'll end up like the others

Die (Die! ), die again (die! )
Drenched in sin (sin! )
With no respect for another

OH!

Down(Down! ), feel the fire(fire! )
Feel the hate(hate! )
Your pain is what we desire

Lost (Lost! ), hit the wall (wall! )
Watch you crawl (crawl! )
Such a replaceable liar

And I know you hear their voices
(Calling from above)
And I know they may seem real

(These signals of love)
But our life's made up of choices
(Some without appeal)

They took for granted your soul
And it's ours now to steal
As your nightmare comes to life

You should have known
The price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here

Yeah

No one to call
Everybody to fear
Your tragic fate
Is looking so clear

Yeah
Oooooooh

It's your fucking nightmare
