Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Wide awake at 3 a.m.

Something crawling through the wiring

Every shadow wears a face I know

Cold sweat pooling on the pillow

The room breathes slow

And the quiet starts to hum

Pre-Chorus

Pulse is climbing

Walls are thinning

Where does waking end

Chorus

What are nightmares

They are a reflection of your fears and emotions

A way of processing emotions that your brain has flagged

Nightmares are created by feelings of fear

Which trigger stress hormones

In other words they are an expression of your deepest fears

Drop

What are nightmares

What are nightmares

Verse 2

Teeth that loosen in my jaw

A staircase folding into nothing

Someone calls my name from down the hall

I run but never move an inch

The ceiling lowers

And the dark leans in

Pre-Chorus

Heart is racing

Seams are splitting

Where does waking end

Chorus

What are nightmares

They are a reflection of your fears and emotions

A way of processing emotions that your brain has flagged

Nightmares are created by feelings of fear

Which trigger stress hormones

In other words they are an expression of your deepest fears

Bridge

Flagged flagged

Something in me flagged it

Flagged flagged

Something in me flagged it

Chorus

What are nightmares

They are a reflection of your fears and emotions

A way of processing emotions that your brain has flagged

Nightmares are created by feelings of fear

Which trigger stress hormones

In other words they are an expression of your deepest fears

Drop

What are nightmares

What are nightmares
