I was afraid of coming undone
Of being a burden, of being a son
I was afraid of the look in my eyes
The tears on your face in the desolate night

Coz when you're afraid of everything, everything is the stuff of nightmares, nightmares, nightmares, nightmares

Oh

If I died tomorrow, would you be upset?
Or would you be the one coming to get me
I've fallen by the wayside
Of an ever changing world
So tell me it's alright

If you can reason if you can stand
To put all your faith in the palm of my hand
I will protect you, I will defend
So it never gets you, ever again

Coz when you're afraid of everything, everything is the stuff of nightmares, nightmares, nightmares, nightmares

Oh

If I died tomorrow would you be upset?
Or would you be the one coming to get me
I've fallen by the wayside
Of an ever changing world
So tell me it's alright

Maybe I was dreaming, maybe I was wrong
Or maybe I was right
Coz all you can imagine, just as it appears
Is already gone

Nightmares, nightmares
Nightmares, nightmares
Nightmares, nightmares
Nightmares, nightmares, nightmares, nightmares

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
