I Wake Up Screaming

Like a portrait born of hate

like a lock without a key

I am trapped here in this prison

deliver me from me

like a world within my head

like a thorn in my side

I am choking on your virtue

what a way to die



And the wind keeps on moaning

shattered lightning from the skies

all your promises are broken

I think you just want to bury me

I wake up screaming every night

I wake up screaming



Like a guardian of lies

bringing laughter in disguise

I am drowning in your bullshit

what a way to die

like a crystal virgin mind

when you blindly lead the blind

I am waiting for my requiem

or the end of time



And the wind keeps on moaning

spitting right into your eyes

every bridge is burned and broken

do you think you want to fuck with me

I wake up screaming every night

I wake up screaming



Ooh what to do now when I see your armour twist and crack

Ooh what to do now when I rip the smile right from your face rip



Like a portrait born of Hate

Like a lock without a key

I am trapped here, in this prison

Deliver me from me



And the wind keeps on moaning

Spitting right into your eyes

All your promises are broken

Do you think you'll stand the test of time



I Wake up Screaming every night

I Wake up Screaming
