I was afraid of coming undone
Of being a burden, of being a son
I was afraid of the look in my eyes
The tears on your face in the desolate night
'Cause when you're afraid of everything
Everything is the stuff of nightmares, nightmares
Nightmares, nightmares
Oh
If I died tomorrow, would you be upset?
Or would you be the one coming to get me
I've fallen by the wayside of an ever changing world
So tell me it's alright
If you can reason, if you can stand
To put all your faith in the palm of my hand
I will protect you, I will defend
So it never gets you, ever again
'Cause when you're afraid of everything
Everything is the stuff of nightmares, nightmares
Nightmares, nightmares
Oh, oh, oh, oh
If I died tomorrow, would you be upset?
Or would you be the one coming to get me?
I've fallen by the wayside of an ever changing world
So tell me it's alright
Maybe I was dreaming, maybe I was wrong
Or maybe I was right
'Cause all you can imagine, just as it appears
Is already gone
Nightmares, nightmares
Nightmares, nightmares
Nightmares, nightmares
Nightmares, nightmares
Nightmares, nightmares
Oh, oh, oh, oh
