Atrocious Nightmares

When you fall asleep That's when it starts Explosions and screams Terrorize your heart As your panic grows The blood flows Through the streets Atrocious nightmares Never leave you alone When you fall asleep A bundle of Love My cradle of sweet I want to be the one I have to be the one Baby, let me be the sponge Absorbs all your pain Arms Wrapped around you Protects you again Baby, let me be the rope Saves you from a fall Daddy Standing by you Giving it his all When you fall asleep That's when it begins Hysteria and mayhem Spread 'neath your skin As your fear mounts The dead body counts Jump like wounded beasts Atrocious nightmares Never leave you alone When you fall asleep A bundle of love My cradle of sweet I want to be the one I have to be the one Baby, let me be the sponge Absorbs all your pain Arms Wrapped around you Protects you again Baby, let me be the rope Saves you from a fall Daddy Standing by you Giving it his all I want to be the one I have to be the one Don't you see? I'm the one.
