Lyrics Only the Nightmares Survive - Harmjoy

I see the dreams
Dying inside of you
I hear them scream
From all that you put them through
There in your eyes
Suffer the butterflies in vain
Drowning in your tears
From so many years of pain
Gone are the unicorns
The roses are only thorns
The bees have all fled the hive
When real life prevails
Only the nightmares survive
Only the nightmares survive
You grew up so fast
How could anything playful last?
Buried alive in the past
When the pace of your life
Shifts into overdrive
Only the nightmares survive
Your fantasies
Have fallen into the sea
Your highest hopes
Now hang in an empty tree
Now that you're grown
Look at the seeds that you have sewn
A wasteland of work
The flowers have turned to stone
Too late for the big parade
The color's begun to fade
The reaper will soon arrive
When dreams go to hell
Only the nightmares survive
Only the nightmares survive
