Welcome to my nightmare
I think you're gonna like it
I think you're gonna feel you belong

A nocturnal vacation
A necessary sedation
You wanna feel at home 'cause you belong

Welcome to my nightmare

Welcome to my breakdown
I hope I didn't scare you
That's just the way we are when we come down!

We sweat and laugh and scream here
'Cause life is just a dream here
You know inside you feel right at home here

You're welcome to my nightmare, yeah

Welcome to my nightmare
I think you're gonna like it
I think you're gonna feel you belong

We sweat and laugh and scream here
'Cause life is just a dream here
You know inside you feel right at home here

Welcome to my nightmare, ooh
Welcome to my breakdown

Yeah!
