Modern Day Nightmare
You hear the knock at your door
You hear the creaking of your floor
You believe it's all in your head
And that your completely safe in your bed
A shadow runs across your room
You believe it's all too soon
You scream but it's to late
You're face to face with your fate
It's worse then the monster under your bed
It's nothing like the demons in your head
It's come to take all you own
Take you away from what you've known
It's the Modern Day Nightmare
You're searching for the light
But you can't find it in sight
You can do absolutely nothin
As it starts it's destruction
Life passes before your eyes
And your completely surprised
Look at the time you lost
And look at what it cost
It's worse then the monster under your bed
It's nothing like the demons in your head
It's come to take all your own
Take you away from what you've known
It's the modern day nightmare
The time slipped away
A little every day
You were never there
For your kids' scrape or tear
You missed band and football games
Saying that they were all the same
You missed their graduation
You missed their life, congratulations
It's worse then the moster under your bed
It's nothing like the demons in your head
It's come to take all your own
Take you away from what you've known
It's the modern day nightmare
Everything starts to fade
And you think about the life you made
About everything you missed
About every lost kiss
Death pulls you closer in
Now you regret your biggest sin
You now are paralyzed
Your death has been finalized
It's worse then the monster under your bed
It's nothing like the demons in your head
It's come to take all you own
Take you away from what you've known
It's the modern day nightmare
