I was afraid of coming undone Of being a burden, of being a son I was afraid of the look in my eyes The tears on your face in the desolate night 'Cause when you're afraid of everything Everything is the stuff of nightmares, nightmares Nightmares, nightmares Oh If I died tomorrow, would you be upset? Or would you be the one coming to get me I've fallen by the wayside of an ever changing world So tell me it's alright If you can reason, if you can stand To put all your faith in the palm of my hand I will protect you, I will defend So it never gets you, ever again 'Cause when you're afraid of everything Everything is the stuff of nightmares, nightmares Nightmares, nightmares Oh, oh, oh, oh If I died tomorrow, would you be upset? Or would you be the one coming to get me? I've fallen by the wayside of an ever changing world So tell me it's alright Maybe I was dreaming, maybe I was wrong Or maybe I was right 'Cause all you can imagine, just as it appears Is already gone Nightmares, nightmares Nightmares, nightmares Nightmares, nightmares Nightmares, nightmares Nightmares, nightmares Oh, oh, oh, oh
