Story Behind the Song
This was the first song we ever wrote. It was the project that started sapropyte with the orginal three members before it was considered a band. John called up Patrick and Justin Walcroft with a concept on just "one" song that he wanted to work on and see if they could write. The various members of saprophyte racked their brains on this one, for months they left the orginal "Nightmare" for dead, beleiveing it was not as good as their new matieral, until months later something clicked and it was revived. From that point on song writing for most of the band has become a much more natural thing, and we have not looked back scince.
Lyrics
Nightmare ( John Morrow & Patrick Burns )
Every time I close my eyes,
I can not help but fill with lies.
Killing my dreams and my soul,
This nightmare world takes its toll.
Stagnant and rotten,
Have they forgotten,
Why they are here anyway?
Ruined Conceited,
Its lies that they need,
To keep the truth astray.
Chorus:
I can't stop their screaming,
I can't stop my dreaming.
They'll make sure I'm purified,
Crucified in Cyanide.
I can't stop this Nightmare.
I can't stop this Nightmare.
You Thrust open me sour lies,
In turn I take the blame.
You complicate, the complicated,
In this nightmare-world nothing's the same,
In this nightmare nothing's sane.
Chorus:
Reality pulls so tight,
The noose of life.
But I let it win,
Nightmare floods in.
A mouse in a maze,
I must leave this place.
I just want to breathe,
Just want to bleed.
Chorus:
Don't know what I am,
Don't know what I breathe.
Just this rotten poison inside of me.
Don't know who I am,
Don't know what to see.
Theres nothing left for me…
… Nothing left for me to believe…
