Dig up a life time worth of dread
Drip on the floor in crimson red
You are in way over your head
So don't carry a blind spot in your eyes
Cut the deceit and cauterize
Questions fan smoke inside your mind
You know
There's more than one way to hide a secret
Stuff down the truth in all moments of lies
Burn burn it up up up and stomp the ash
But it'll still come haunt you in the night
The night

Nightmares gotta eat
History repeats
You know
You know
No sleep in the night
The kids aren't alright
Oh, no
Whoa

Witness a tired and twisted game
Making the hunters out the prey
You can be sorry but not safe
Survive
Lingering fire burns inside
Always the brightest in their eyes
Animal rage will have its night
Tonight
Nightmares gotta eat
History repeats
You know
You know
No sleep in the night
The kids aren't alright
Oh, no
Whoa

They aren't alright
They aren't alright
They aren't alright
They aren't alright
They aren't alright
They aren't alright

Innocent lights are muted with sudden shade
Nothing inside this playground is fun and games
You are invited over to come and play
And stay
And play
And stay
And play
You can't escape

'Cause nightmares gotta eat
History repeats
You know
You know
No sleep in the night
The kids aren't alright
Oh, no
Whoa
They aren't alright
They aren't alright
They aren't alright
They aren't alright
They aren't alright
They aren't alright

They aren't alright
They aren't alright
They aren't alright
They aren't alright
They aren't alright
They aren't alright
