Perfect Nightmare

I can't believe my eyes and how time flies You hit me with the truth behind the lies I had enough of your foolish shenanigans You're like a sink full of dishes and pans You're my oh oh You're my oh oh You're my perfect nightmare from the start You're my oh oh You're my oh oh You're my perfect nightmare...my work of art... You weren't by my side I cried a little inside You held on to your pride Your hello got goodbyed You're a perfect distraction You gave me some satisfaction You're a perfect nightmare You haunt me with your mirror Every time you smile wickedly at me, I shy away and flee... These wings won't set me free You're my oh oh oh You're my oh oh oh You're my perfect nightmare I fear that you'll appear You give me thrills and scares You give me endless nightmares You're my perfect nightmare You belong in my embrace You're my every night terror You set me ablaze with your trace You're my oh oh You're my oh oh You're my perfect nightmare without a care You're my oh oh You're my oh oh You're my perfect nightmare that will draw near You weren't by my side I cried a little inside You held on to your pride Your hello got goodbyed You're a perfect distraction You gave me some satisfaction You're a perfect nightmare You haunt me with your mirror Every time you smile wickedly at me, I shy away and flee... These wings won't set me free You're my oh oh oh You're my oh oh oh You're my perfect nightmare I fear that you'll appear You give me thrills and scares You give me endless nightmares I'm here without you in bliss You bought me plastic happiness Bring me to life with your perfect nightmare You're the brazen lion and I'm the wandering deer Rest now, thy heart of fear You'll remain my perfect nightmare Set me free, my lovely dear You're insane and I'm bizarre, so we're a perfect pair You're the tortoise and I'm the hare You weren't by my side I cried a little inside You held on to your pride Your hello got goodbyed You have no where to hide I yearned for your nightmarish pride You cradled me with your wings of flight Your hello got goodbyed all day and night You're my perfect nightmare You're my oh oh oh You're my perfect nightmare You're my oh oh oh You stalk me with your death stare Torn down by your game of truth or dare Haunted by your perfect nightmare Taunted by your perfect nightmare I'm dancing with the ghouls of my mind's eye I'm descending with the demons that don't lie But, soon enough, I'll ascend from the grave of your misdemeanors Your insidious, mischievous nature always appears in my perfect nightmares You're my oh oh You're my oh oh You'll always be my perfect nightmare Eternally, you'll be the crimson scars I bear
