Daddy’s out of town, and when I look around there’s a whole lot going on.

And when I go to bed, and I lay down my head, I dream not once at all.

‘Cause I see shadow’s in the dark, the wind’s howling at my window,

Then I hear my own voice sayin’ : I can’t take anymore.

And I listen to myself, and it doesn’t seem like it’s comin’ from me

But I’d know my own voice anywhere

And I know that someone is here but I just can’t seem to wake up

from my nightmare

Oh, Life can be a nightmare.

Oh, When I do wake up, I feel I’ve had enough,

I forget the ones I love

And then I look around, and I don’t hear a sound.

I know that no one’s there

But it’s too quiet

And I lay my head down on my pillow.

I see shadows in the dark, the wind’s howling at my window,

Demons in my head but I just can’t seem to find out why

I’ve been so delusional and my head is filled

with nightmares

Oh, life can be a nightmare.
