Composed by：Ashley Frangipane/Benjamin Levin/Magnus August Høiberg/Nathan Perez

Now I lay me down to sleep

I pray the Lord my soul to keep

If I shall die before I wake

I pray the Lord my soul to take

I I keep a record of the wreckage of my life

I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

They talk s**t but I love it every time

And I realize

I've tasted blood and it is sweet

I've had the rug pulled beneath my feet

I've trusted lies and trusted men

Broke down and put myself back together again

Stared in the mirror and punched it to shatters

Collected the pieces and picked out a dagger

I've pinched my skin in between my two fingers

And wished I could cut some parts off with some scissors

"Come on little lady give us a smile"

No I ain't got nothin' to smile about

I got no one to smile for I waited a while for

A moment to say I don't owe you a godd**n thing

I I keep a record of the wreckage of my life

I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

They talk s**t but I love it every time

And I realize

I'm no sweet dream but I'm a hell of a night

That I'm no sweet dream but I'm a hell of a night

No I won't smile but I'll show you my teeth

And I'ma let you speak if you just let me breathe

I've been polite but won't be caught dead

Lettin' a man tell me what I should do in my bed

Keep my exes in check in my basement

'Cause kindness is weakness or worse your complacent

I could play nice or I could be a bully

I'm tired and angry but somebody should be

"Come on little lady give us a smile"

No I ain't got nothin' to smile about

I got no one to smile for I waited a while for

A moment to say I don't owe you a godd**n thing

I I keep a record of the wreckage of my life

I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

They talk s**t but I love it every time

And I realize

I I keep a record of the wreckage of my life

I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

They talk s**t but I love it every time

And I realize

Someone like me can be a real nightmare completely aware

But I'd rather be a real nightmare than I die unaware yeah

Someone like me can be a real nightmare completely aware

But I'm glad to be a real nightmare so save me your prayers

I I keep a record of the wreckage of my life

I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

They talk s**t but I love it every time

And I realize

I I keep a record of the wreckage of my life

I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

They talk s**t but I love it every time

And I realize

I'm no sweet dream but I'm a hell of a night

That I'm no sweet dream but I'm a hell of a night
