Inflict

All of my nightmares you
Leave me sleeping
Weighing my eyes down
Everything’s fading
In the gutter of my mind
I found my hero
See I actually believed
In such a thing as a hero
And I crawled on my knees
Just to please you
I’m just like all the rest, the second best
The one who takes what she can get
From where you’re standing
I never suffer
Made of concrete I am breathless
You must’ve confused
Me with someone else
Someone who settles for
Being someone’s whore
Someone more like yourself
And all the nightmares that I have
You own my awakening
But you leave me sleeping on
Enjoying the thrill of my scream
