[Intro]
Gm Eb F
Gm Bb Eb F
[Verse 1]
Gm Bb
Adrift in oceans of madness and seas of fear
Eb F
Awash in whirlpools of hunger and waves of tears
Gm Bb
Asleep, my nightmares are merely a dazed ordeal
Eb F
Awake, I scarcely remember which dreams were real!
[Bridge]
G
So I'll start poking around
G
Until this thread is unwound
Eb
And though the nightmares abound
Eb
I'll keep on standing my ground
G
But as the clues all compound
G
I've near conclusively found
Eb
I'm still asleep!
[Chorus]
Gm
I'm in my own little nightmare!
Bb
It feels as real as it seems
Eb
I'm trapped with all of these frights here
F
In my dreams!
Gm Bb Eb F
[Verse 2]
Gm Bb
Below the floors of this horror not much survives
Eb F
Beneath the cover of shadow the darkness thrives
Gm Bb
Beware! The nightmares will feed off your silent screams
Eb F
Believe in nothing before you, it's just a dream!
[Bridge]
G
I know each answer I find
G
Is but a trick of the mind
Eb
And though my shadow is blind
Eb
It's always lurking behind
G
Yet every danger's designed
G
To somehow serve to remind
F
I'm still asleep!
[Chorus]
Gm
I'm in my own little nightmare!
Bb
Doomed to be swallowed up raw
Eb
There's no escaping my plight here
F
In the Maw
[Verse 3]
Gm
Time to restart the nightmare
Eb
Back again and again
Gm
Trapped in a daydream right where
Eb
Now's returning to Then
Gm
Where will my nightmares take me
Eb
When will I be set free?
Gm
What would it take to wake me
Eb
From this dream?
Gm Bb
Starved and running on empty, but still, I rise
Eb F
Reborn back into this nightmare of fear and lies!
Gm Bb
Though fog of hunger has clouded my weary mind
Eb F
My will grows stronger than ever with each rewind!
[Bridge]
G
And I will push through the pain
G
With but my heart and my brain
Eb
Until my demons are slain
Eb
And no more nightmares remain
G
I might be sorely insane
G
But it seems perfectly plain
F
I'm still asleep!
[Chorus]
Gm
I'm in my own little nightmare!
Bb
A dream I'm doomed to repeat
Eb
I'm out of food and I know there's
F
Naught to eat
Gm
I didn't come here to fight fair
Bb
To starve and die as you dine
Eb
So face your own little nightmare;
F
This is mine!
Gm
