Dreams and Nightmares

I'm so used to pain, that when I have a dream I get scared
But when I have a nightmare I feel comfortable in there
I've cried tears, gained scars, lost blood, fought demons, I'm still here
I feel uneasy when I dream but I'm comfortable with my nightmares

My dreams occur occasionally, but they don't last long
I ignore the happenings, because it's my dream putting an act on
I live a nightmare so I don't wake from one in cold sweats
I just hope to have a nightmare that hasn't been told yet

I don't fear death, I've looked the grim reaper in the eye
I've fought demons that would scare most people when they close their eyes
Obstacles come my way, I don't back down and won't avoid it
I've grown accustomed to pain, so that now I kind of enjoy it

Depression has tortured me so much, I no longer get a wound when it sits
I'm so used to pain, I'm over it as soon as it hits
I'm living a nightmare, and dreams are just lies in your head
I ignore mine, because I know I won't have Rihanna for a night in my bed

I'm so used to pain, that when I have a dream I get scared
But when I have a nightmare I feel comfortable in there
I've cried tears, gained scars, lost blood, fought demons, I'm still here
I feel uneasy when I dream but I'm comfortable with my nightmares
