NIGHTMARE - TRUTH BEHIND THE LIES
© Sunlending Sky

Instrumental Intro - Vocals start at 3:41 Minutes -
PART 1
Whisper - (I was so scared, I was trapped in a nightmare, I couldn't take it anymore)

What truths lie behind your lies
You say you love but you despise
Trying to hold on, as you push away
Telling me to go, then beginning me to stay (Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha)

You said you loved me with all your soul
You made me believe to take control
You pretended that you truly cared
Just to entangle me in your snare

I've tried to tell you from the start
You have to feel love and give it from your heart
And though I speak out loud and clear
You simply choose just not to hear

You cut me down to make me bleed
All to satisfy your growing greed
You took everything I had to give
Now you're trying to take what makes me live

I've tried to tell you from the start
You have to feel love and give it from your heart
And though I speak out loud and clear
You simply choose just not to hear

5:42 - ORGAN SOLO

6:09
I've tried to tell you from the start
You have to feel love and give it from your heart
And though I speak out loud and clear
You simply choose not to hear Me

6:23 - PART 2 - Tell me tell Me

6:45

I think you've taken things to far
You've left me with a jagged scar
All the things you've said and done
They now have got you on the run -

Run you fucker - You can run faster than that - Run
7:16 (Change)
Tell me now, tell me now is it true
Isn't it true what they say about you

Naked I lie in your box of flies
We know the truths behind your lies

Tell me now tell me why the tears
Pulling me closer brings out my fears

Boiling that water to hear my cries
We know the truth behind your lies

7:44 (Change)

7:59
Overdosing may do the trick We Know the Truth
Razor blades will end this nonsense quick We Know the Truth
We Know the Truth


8:25 (Change)

Tell me now Tell Me now how did it feel
Making the Shrinks think I made you kneel

They never guessed about your disguise
We know the truths behind your lies

8:41 (Change)

Once I danced in your music box
You invited your friends to come up and play
And then you tightened up all the locks
Turned on lights so that I was on display

And now I rot in this padded torture box
Slit my wrists watch me get away
I can hear their feet patter like a clock tic tocks
Spiders in coats tell me, here, forever I will stay We Know the Truth

9:45 (Change)

How did you think it was going to end?
Voice in my head is my only friend

If they can shrink my head down to size
They'll know the truth behind our lies

We know the truth!
10:00 (Change)

10:26
We know the truth behind your lies
You say you love, but not it's I that despise
Trying to hold on, as you push away
But in your nightmare, I can't Stay

10:52 (Change)

11:05
Mirror Mirror on the wall
We are the witness to your evil tragic fall
There's no place to hide
Caught up in the nightmares of your lies

Now your life is ruined with my evil touch,
I laugh out loud and cry inside because it is your evil heart I crush
You're begging now, down on your knees
As I fulfill my nightmare's needs

Mirror Mirror I'm so blue
Why didn't my fairy tale come true?
I can't hear a single word you said
The voices continue to scream inside my head

Scream

No Happily ever after
No Happily ever after
Coming to take me away now
No Happily ever after
No Happily ever after
I hope your eyes are wide open

So that the last thing you ever see
Is
Me

12:19 (Change)

(Cacophony)

PART 3
Lie behind your lies
You said you loved and now I despise
You tried to hold on, just to push away
But in your nightmare I won't stay



I tried to tell you from the start
You had to feel love and give it from your heart
And though I spoke out loud and clear
You simply chose just not to hear me

The face that hides behind those eyes
They hide the truths that hides behind your lies
You could've been happy, set your burdens free
If you'd just looked you might've seen ME

I tried to tell you from the start
You had to feel love and give it from your heart
And though I spoke out loud and clear
You simply chose just not to hear me

It's sad to see what you've become
You think the torture's over? Well, its' just begun.
And now to really know your thoughts
All I believed you were, you're NOT

I tried to tell you from the start
You had to feel love and give it from your heart
And though I spoke out loud and clear
You simply chose just not to hear me

Guitar Solo

I tried to tell you from the start
You had to feel love and give it from your heart
And though I spoke out loud and clear
You simply chose just not to hear Me
