[Intro] [distorted electric guitar palm-muted riff, steady drum beat] [Verse 1] [male vocals, gritty tone] I'm so tired of these nightmares being pushed and shoved No place for me to run, just a story left undone Feelings overwhelm me, paralyzing like fear In a world so cold, it's left me numb, my dear [Chorus] [full band, open power chords, heavy drums] Nightmares echo in the silence of the night Running from shadows, searching for light I'm dried out like a desert, empty and alone These nightmares haunt me, how could I have known? [Verse 2] [palm-muted guitar returns] I pen down my thoughts just to keep them at bay Nightmares of a world slowly fading each day They linger in my dreams like whispers in a storm Pushing and shoving until I break and transform [Chorus] [full band intensity] Nightmares echo in the silence of the night Running from shadows, searching for light I'm dried out like a desert, empty and alone These nightmares haunt me, how could I have known? [Outro] [clean arpeggiated guitar, drums fade out] How could I have known?
