Shared Nightmares

[Verse 1] Another city, another room, A different bed, another tomb. Suitcase down, lights grow dim, This is how it always begins. Close my eyes... but I'm not alone, Dreamin' lives I've never known. Someone's nightmare pulls me in... Before my own can begin. [Pre-Chorus] Every mattress holds a story, Every pillow hides a scream. Someone left a piece behind... Now it's livin' inside me. [Chorus] These aren't my memories, These aren't my dreams. I'm seein' through the eyes... Of everyone before me. Every shadow knows my name, Nothin' here is what it seems. Wakin' up, in someone else's pain, In the dark I hear their screams. Every night they come alive, Every time I close my eyes. Their final moments haunt my sleep, Now their demons live in me. Every hotel room... Comes with shared nightmares. [Verse 2] Footsteps runnin' down the hall, Voices cryin' through the walls. A wedding ring beneath the bed, A final goodbye never said. Room service... untouched for days, Restless nights that never fade. Some checked out, some never could, And their dreams are what remain. [Chorus] These aren't my memories, These aren't my dreams. I'm seein' through the eyes... Of everyone before me. Every shadow knows my name, Nothin' here is what it seems. Wakin' up, in someone else's pain, In the dark I hear their screams. Every night they come alive, Every time I close my eyes. Their final moments haunt my sleep, Now their demons live in me. Every hotel room... Comes with shared nightmares. [Bridge] How many souls... Have slept where I lay? How many last breaths... Still echo this place? You changed the sheets — You never changed the ghosts. I close my eyes... And become the host. [Breakdown] You checked in, You signed your name. Now the room, Remembers yours. One more nightmare. Another recollection. One more soul... For the collection. [Final Chorus] These aren't my memories, These aren't my dreams. I'm seein' through the eyes... Of everyone before me. Every shadow knows my name, Nothin' here is what it seems. Wakin' up, in someone else's pain, In the dark I hear their screams. Every night they come alive, Every time I close my eyes. Their final moments haunt my sleep, Now their demons live in me. Every hotel room... Comes with shared nightmares. [Outro] Room service... Please make the bed. You can't wash away... The dead. Tomorrow someone checks into room 3 1 9... And they'll wake up screamin'... From a dream... I left behind.
