Nightmare and Let's Imagine

Nightmare and Let's Imagine

NIGHTMARE

This world is
Filled with pain
With broken hearts
And tear stains
When life's the tyrant
That gets you down
Holding on
But never comin' around

How can you smile
When everything's so wrong?
How can you live
When the night is just so damn long?
Why don't you scream
Pinch yourself to wake up?
Pretend it's all a dream...

A nightmare

A nightmare

Please don't shout
You need to keep it inside
The friends you trusted
Are the ones who lied
Face the facts
No one cares if you're gone or not
Relearn the rules of life
Forget all you've been taught

How can laugh
When you know you need to cry?
How can you dance
When all the beloved have gone goodbye?
Why don't you scream
And wake up from the awful dream?

It's a nightmare...
A nightmare...


LET'S IMAGINE

Tasha: What are we doing?

We're saying that it doesn't hurt
Keeping a straight face
Wiping our tears to suffer silently
In our disgrace

What are we doing?

What are we doing?

Tasha: What are we doing?

We're lying inside
Smiling when we need to cry
Promising ourselves we'll make it through
Or die

That's what we're doing. What we're doing...

John: Let's imagine
Just for an hour tonight
That when we go to sleep and wake up
Everything will be alright
My (you're) daddy will love me
And your (my) mommy will return
If we try hard enough
Maybe we can learn
How to change our dreams into a reality

What are we doing?

Why are we saying
That it doesn't hurt
When we're really on fire
In an isolated desert

What are we doing?

We're stumbling through life
Hoping to get something right
But we know it's not working
And we're loosing all our sight

Let's imagine
Just for and hour tonight
That when we go to sleep and wake up
Everything will be alright
Daddy won't be cruel
And your mommy will return
If we try hard enough
Maybe we can learn
How to change our dreams into a reality

Tasha: John, I don't see this happening

John: Tash, I can't see the light

Tasha: John, what's wrong, am I blind?

John: Tash, get a flashlight and shine it in the night

Tasha: I'm so lost, does anybody care, this isn't fair, and it's out of control, leaving everything behind as I fly through outer space, staying awake just in case...

John: I'm so lost, does anyone care, this is not fair, my life is not mine and it's out of control, I'm the puppet on a string, dancing around the ring, holding on to hope just in case...

John and Tasha: We're rescued. We're rescued. We're rescued.
