Eyes slam shut, the world dissolves to black A sudden plunge, no turning back Fractured landscapes bleed and twist Reality's grip begins to slip Shadows writhe with whispered screams Tearing at the fragile seams Of sanity, a fragile thread Inside this hell inside my head (Drums switch to frantic blast beats, guitars become chaotic and dissonant) VIVID NIGHTMARE! Trapped within this waking sleep! Every terror I must keep! Scarring visions buried deep! No escape, the cycle feeds! Planting its malignant seeds! In the soil of my dread! LIVING NIGHTMARE! Faces melt, familiar eyes turn cold Unholy tales by demons told The ground gives way, a bottomless fall Echoing silence consumes it all Clawing upwards, lungs on fire Choked by fear, a funeral pyre B*****g bright with spectral light No dawn emerges from this night VIVID NIGHTMARE! Trapped within this waking sleep! Every terror I must keep! Scarring visions buried deep! No escape, the cycle feeds! Planting its malignant seeds! In the soil of my dread! LIVING NIGHTMARE! SINK... INTO... THE... ABYSS... WHERE... DREAMS... CONSUME... MY... SOUL... Wake! Gasping! Sheets are soaked! The phantom pain, the fear invoked! Still lingers! Clawing at my skin! Did the nightmare ever truly end? Or just reset? To play again? This t*****e chamber in my mind! No peace! No solace! Will I find! [Chorus] VIVID NIGHTMARE! Trapped within this waking sleep! Every terror I must keep! Scarring visions buried deep! No escape, the cycle feeds! Planting its malignant seeds! In the soil of my dread! LIVING NIGHTMARE!
