Dahlia floated like chimney ash
Up into a shredded sky
It was raining acidic trash
On the moon there crawled a fly
Burning Teslas were driving by
At their wheels, evil clowns
And from the darkness there came a howling
And somehow it called her down
(Our nightmare) Our Nightmare Epiphany
(Our bad dream) Our Nightmare Epiphany
Then she saw him howling fury
And he stuggled with elastic chains
And his parents smiled coldly
As they shackled him down again
There were leeches that were spiders
And spiders that were flies
The very stones that were his teachers
Laughed in Mockery
Then sweet Dahlia reached out to him
And she tried to pull him free
But fallen angels that ran the place
Enfolded him with monstrous glee
(Our nightmare) Our Nightmare Epiphany
(Our bad dream) Our Nightmare Epiphany
(Our nightmare) Our Nightmare Epiphany
(Our bad dream) Our Nightmare Epiphany
Then Dahlia woke in clinging sheets
Her fever broke but the dream remained
She couldn't forget it though a season passed
She wouldn't let it slip away
And then she met him down at the mall
On the edge of the parking lot
Seems that he went to her school
She was popular, he was not
“I remember” (He told her then)
“I'll never forget the dream of chains
You tried to help me,
Tried to descend
Offered me something besides my pain
And now I've found you
In this concrete world-
That only fools believe exists
See I knew that you belonged to me
In my nightmare epiphany”
(Our nightmare) Our Nightmare Epiphany
(Our bad dream) Our Nightmare Epiphany
(Our nightmare) Our Nightmare Epiphany
(Our bad dream) Our Nightmare Epiphany
