Welcome to the Nightmare

Verse 1

You walked in swinging

Thinking you know the score

Punched the clock and practiced

But you never fought this war

Empty handed bravado

Puffing out your chest

I've seen a hundred like you

Crumbling at your best

Pre-Chorus

You rehearse the lines

You polish up your plan

But the floor gives out

Before the fight begins

Chorus

You think you're ready

You think you're prepared

YOU ARE NOT PREPARED

Not even close to there

You think you're ready

You think you're prepared

YOU ARE NOT PREPARED

Welcome to the nightmare

Drop

Break it down

Break it down

Down down down

Break it down

Verse 2

Bought the boots and badges

Chose your perfect stance

Read every manual cover

But that won't save your hands

I don't need your trembling

I don't need your name

I just need to watch you

Chase your own blind shame

Pre-Chorus

You rehearsed the lines

You polished up your plan

But the floor gives out

Before the fight begins

Chorus

You think you're ready

You think you're prepared

YOU ARE NOT PREPARED

Not even close to there

You think you're ready

You think you're prepared

YOU ARE NOT PREPARED

Welcome to the nightmare

Drop

Break it down

Break it down

Down down down

Break it down

Bridge

Steel against the concrete

Smoke against the sky

All the plans you carried

All the weight you carried

Falling in your eyes

Chorus

You think you're ready

You think you're prepared

YOU ARE NOT PREPARED

Not even close to there

You think you're ready

You think you're prepared

YOU ARE NOT PREPARED

Welcome to the nightmare

Outro

You are not prepared

You are not prepared

No you're not

Not at all
