lyrics

I hear the clock ticking into the night
As the flame flickers out I move into the moonlight
Woke to a horrible fright
The sounds are all out of sight
When did these nightmares turn into my life
Oh I must've slept a night and a day
Because the creatures breath blowing makes a haze on the rays
From the moon creeping into the room
Something better happen soon
Why do they never have anything good to say
Oh I don't want to wake the lot
Because it's like a pack of wolves at the end my cot
And they don't care much for this song
Why don't you sing along?
Oh how I wish
[Oh how I wish they were dead!]
[All the creatures in my head!]
[How I wish they were dead!]
[There's nothing they can do to stop me now!]

I hear the breaths all falling in time
If the band could play like this
I wouldn't be losing my mind
And then the song fades into a dream
Life is not as it seems
Who let all these monkeys waltz right into the scene
I close my eyes and count to ten
If this is just a dream
Then I'll wake up again
To a life full of no surprise
Everything we love dies
Oh how I wish
[Oh how I wish they were dead!]
[All the creatures in my head!]
[How I wish they were dead!]
[There's nothing they can do to stop me now!]

[How I wish they were dead!]
[All the creatures in my head!]
[How I wish they were dead!]
[There's nothing they can do to stop me now!]


[How I wish they were dead!]
[All the creatures in my head!]
[How I wish they were dead!]
[There's nothing they can do to stop me now!]
