Flight 9 - Shaking the Nightmare Lyrics

I never saw this coming
Now I see hope stripped away
It's an unexpected twist
To a plot I just can't get

And it'd be a sick, cruel joke
But this is no joke at all
It's got me curled up on the floor
Bruised and damaged from this fall

I want to wake up from this nightmare, but it's real
I want to shake off all the heartache that I feel
I don't know the reasons why
And I'm all torn up inside
This tragedy is the story of my life

Now I'm picking up the pieces
To a shattered heart and mind
The time proceeds unscathed
I'm wishing I could do the same

But these battle wounds and scars
Will remind me who I am
They'll give me strength to stand
When the fires burn again

I want to wake up from this nightmare, but it's real
I want to shake off all the heartbreak that I feel
But another moment lies in wait
A new plea for saving grace
Please stay with me, help me breathe for one more day

I'm determined
To find purpose
Praying for faith
To resurface

And my fate has to change
Yeah my fate will someday change

Now I'm passing through this nightmare, cause it's real
Now I'm shaking off the heartache that I feel
And tomorrow blooms another day
A new hope for saving grace
Please stay with me, as I seek to find my way
