A nightmare to remember   I'd never be the same   What began as laughter   So soon would turn to pain      The sky was clear and frigid   The air was thick and still   Now I'm not one to soon forget   And I bet I never will      Picture for a moment   The perfect irony   A flawless new beginning   Eclipsed by tragedy      The uninvited stranger   Strated dancing on his own   So we said goodbye   To the glowing bride   And we made our way back home      Life was so simple then   We were so innocent   Father and mother   Holding each other      Without warning   Out of nowhere   Like a bullet   From the night      Crashing glass   Rubber and steel   Scorching fire   Glowing lights      Screams of terror   Pain and fear   Sounds of sirens   Smoke in my eyes      Sudden stillness   Wrapped in silence   No more screaming   No more cries      Stunned and bewildered   Cold and afraid   Torn up and broken   Frightened and dazed      Stunned and bewildered   Cold and afraid   Torn up and broken   Frightened and dazed      Lying on the table   In this unfamilliar place   I'm greeted by a stranger   A man without a face      He said, "Son do you remember?"   "Do you even know your name?"   Then he shined a light into my eyes   And said, "Take this for the pain."      Hopelessly drifting   Bathing in beautiful agony   I am endlessly falling   Lost in this wonderful misery   In peaceful sedation I lay half awake   And all of the panic inside starts to fade   Hopelessly drifting   Bathing in beautiful agony      "Tell me does this hurt you?"   Said the faceless man   "Can you move all of your fingers?"   "Can you try your best to stand?"      I asked about the others   Is everyone ok?   He told me not to worry   As he turned and looked away      Hopelessly drifting   Bathing in beautiful agony   I am endlessly falling   Lost in this wonderful misery   In peaceful sedation I lay half awake   And all of the panic inside starts to fade   Hopelessly drifting   Bathing in beautiful agony      Day after day   And night after night   We burden the oppressed   Did they ever see the red light?   Over and over   Scene by scene   Like a recurring nightmare   Haunting my dreams      How can you prepare   For what happens next?   The search you'll never have to see   His father's such a mess   It's a miracle he lived   It's a blessing no one died   By the grace of God above   Everyone survived      Life was so simple then   We were so innocent   It will stay with us forever   A nightmare to remember      letssingit.com
