Nightmare Lyrics - Singles - Trapdoor Social

When it starts to rain I feel it creep into the cracked airplane 

No passers by were all inside it, staring down the same great heights and 

When you panic, I'll have to panic, make a mad dash for the exit 

But if we're calm and brave 'till dawn will wake up in our beds unharmed 

Face to face with all the people, I could avoid when all was equal 

But in the rubble there are no walls, no separation, cloud controls 

Everything theory wove by reason, gets pulled apart when stretched by feeling 

And so we trace the darkest spots, the bare contours of virtue lost 

I'm dead, you're dead 

Dream it 'till were back in bed 

Safe and sound 

I know, you know 

We're living on our tiptoes now 

Wake up in the morning to words scrawled across my eyelids warning 

Of everything we should be seeing but needed the unconscious bleeding 

Perhaps now I can sculpt the words for what long has been just shapeless fears 

And let dimension draw perspective carving out its due attention 

All your pain's a treated symptoms, a dropper drops leaves blurry vision 

And swallows up in thick abstract, leaving scientific cataracts 

The visceral gets disinfected, too numb to note the next invention 

Can't keep up still far behind, more cunning's running losing time 

And I don't know what fate is 

It won't shutter my eyes 

We'll wake up in a moment 

Cradling our time 

I'm dead, you're dead 

Dream it 'till were back (safe) in bed 

Our lovely lives recovered 

I know, you know 

We're living on our tiptoes 

Hoping fate won't hear us comin 

Tug on the thread 

It leads right back into your head 

And therein dwells the answer 

I know, you know 

We follow where our hearts go 

Falling off the precipice 

I can run but can't seem to hide 

Can't seem to hide my dear
