Lyrics Nightmares - Brother Jim

[Chorus]
Nightmares, morning tears
Wasted all this time gotta get outta here
Our love came and went now I need to disappear
I loved you for so many years
Sharing laughter and our fears
But something has become quite crystal clear
We don't seem to share the same mirror
One outlook filled with so much cheer
The other entrenched in drear
We need to switch our gears
We need to switch our gears

[Verse 1]
Why do I feel safest when I feel most hurt
Why do I feel greatest when so close to dirt
The bravest sadist when I over-exert and over-assert
God, I don't like it here but I love her
I throw out all my fears and face all the hurt
Seeing my nightmares play out here on earth
Was full of tears as death drew near in a flirt
Lord, why do I feel safest when I feel most hurt

[Chorus]
Nightmares, morning tears
Wasted all this time gotta get outta here
Our love came and went now I need to disappear
I loved you for so many years
Sharing laughter and our fears
But something has become quite crystal clear
We don't seem to share the same mirror
One outlook filled with so much cheer
The other entrenched in drear
We need to switch our gears
