Nightmare Epiphany lyrics

Dahlia floated like chimney ash

Up into a shredded sky

It was raining acidic trash

On the moon there crawled a fly

Burning Teslas were driving by

At their wheels, evil clowns

And from the darkness there came a howling

And somehow it called her down

(Our nightmare) Our Nightmare Epiphany

(Our bad dream) Our Nightmare Epiphany

Then she saw him howling fury

And he struggled with elastic chains

And his parents smiled coldly

As they shackled him down again

There were leeches that were spiders

And spiders that were flies

The very stones that were his teachers

Laughed in Mockery

Then sweet Dahlia reached out to him

And she tried to pull him free

But the fallen angels that ran the place

Enfolded him with monstrous glee

(Our nightmare) Our Nightmare Epiphany

(Our bad dream) Our Nightmare Epiphany

(Our nightmare) Our Nightmare Epiphany

(Our bad dream) Our Nightmare Epiphany

Then Dahlia woke in clinging sheets

Her fever broke but the dream remained

She couldn’t forget it though a season passed

She wouldn’t let it slip away

And then she met him down at the mall

On the edge of the parking lot

Seems that he went to her school

She was popular, he was not

“I remember” (He told her then)

“I’ll never forget the dream of chains

You tried to help me, tried to descend

Offered me something besides my pain

And now I’ve found you

In this concrete world-

That only fools believe exists

See I knew that you belonged to me

In my nightmare epiphany”

(Our nightmare) Our Nightmare Epiphany

(Our bad dream) Our Nightmare Epiphany

(Our nightmare) Our Nightmare Epiphany

(Our bad dream) Our Nightmare Epiphany
