My Dream's but a Drop of Fuel for a Nightmare
My painted face
I'm a clown
And I'm laughing while my dream turns into a nightmare
Fade away
I'm asleep
Not too deep
The walls of night
Have left me scarred
The broken glass
I stepped on, twice
The ardent spirits'
Rusty edge, decapitate me
I can't sleep
Fear darkness
Go through the motions
Did I fall asleep?
I'm bowling
The old nine pin, a sign unwanted
Now I'm a target
I'm hot and frozen
Stormy rain
I'm stuck in an elevator
Breathing hot air
Winds convey me
The number talks
And I cry in my own Hell
Wide awake, I'm asleep
See a friend as a ghost
I'm skating with a seal (I'm skating with a seal)
The tarantula, the fly, the broken ring
The dusty little flea (The dusty little flea)
An ugly giant, a disappointed child
Here comes the rabid snake (Here comes the rabid snake)
The broken violin, a wild ballet
Shakespeare and company
Refuse to kill the kitten scratching me
I'm falling, I'm falling
I'm falling, I'm falling
I'm falling, I'm falling
Awake
You know, if you believe the dreams
The nightly visions, worlds entwined
Then you also fear your shadow
Paranoia, part two
All the good things in my life
Dwell in my mind
Took a wrong lane, every day
I hear myself say
Sickening's this feeling, my life, my hopes
My dream's but a drop of fuel for a nightmare (For a nightmare)
They all turn out the same
My destiny, my flame
Believing is control?
No, the painting comes alive
Takes me inside a world without a name
A place beyond compare
Believe the dreams
That let you sleep
The broken glass
You need to sweep
The book you read
If you found an explanation
To help you in any way
You are your own prison
Woke up today
The good and the bad and the ugly dreams are gone
Jumped off the carousel
I'm a clown
And I'm laughing while my dream turns into a nightmare
Fade away
I'm asleep
Not too deep
The walls of night
Have left me scarred
The broken glass
I stepped on, twice
The ardent spirits'
Rusty edge, decapitate me
I can't sleep
Fear darkness
Go through the motions
Did I fall asleep?
I'm bowling
The old nine pin, a sign unwanted
Now I'm a target
I'm hot and frozen
Stormy rain
I'm stuck in an elevator
Breathing hot air
Winds convey me
The number talks
And I cry in my own Hell
Wide awake, I'm asleep
See a friend as a ghost
I'm skating with a seal (I'm skating with a seal)
The tarantula, the fly, the broken ring
The dusty little flea (The dusty little flea)
An ugly giant, a disappointed child
Here comes the rabid snake (Here comes the rabid snake)
The broken violin, a wild ballet

Refuse to kill the kitten scratching me
I'm falling, I'm falling
I'm falling, I'm falling
I'm falling, I'm falling

Jumped off the carousel
