After School Trauma Club - Maladaptive Dreams Lyrics

I used to fight the dark, afraid of all the pain
The nightmares that would haunt me, were driving me insane
But now I close my eyes, and I run toward the light
A dream that's too perfect, a life that feels right
In the stillness of the night (I try)
I try to find a place to breathe (A place to breathe)
Where the cracks of my heart (My heart!)
Will no longer bleed! (Whoa oh oh ohhhh!)
Well I'm going to drift away, to a place where I won't wake
Where everything is perfect, where you and I are safe
My nightmares went away, except when I'm awake
I don't know what to do, this is my desperate escape
The bills are stacking up and my body's breaking down
The weight of this whole life is pulling me to the ground
But in my maladaptive dreams, I have everything I need
A love that won't falter, goals and direction, a life I can lead.
Well I'm going to drift away, to a place where I won't wake
Where everything is perfect, where you and I are safe
My nightmares went away, except when I'm awake
I don't know what to do, this is my desperate escape
The lines are fading fast, Oh! I can't tell what's real
The dreamscape is becoming the only thing I feel
In here I see her smile, in here I'll hold her hand
But if this world's in my head, what's so wrong with that?
Well I'm going to drift away, to a place where I won't wake
Where everything is perfect, where you and I are safe
My nightmares went away, except when I'm awake
I don't know what to do, this is my desperate escape
