The Nightmare
[1st v:]
In this foggy mist
Looking for nothing
Looking
Where
Nothing is to be seen
Check off what number is on
The never
The never ending list
Seeing
But never quite
Believing
Maybe waiting to see
What can not be
Imagined
Only visible
Is
Everything
What you try to walk away from
Takes you one step forward
While you
Take two more back
Gain insight from the darkness
And the moon
Drown your senses in the sun
Perhaps the imagination is where
Everything lacks
[1st ch:]
Is it
Can it be real
Is it just what it should be
What the heart fears
Is it
What you ignore
What you feel
What you don't want to feel
In the dream
We close our eyes
Its not real....
Just all of what
You may feel
The nightmare
Continues
With each step
Of every breath
Of every day
No matter where you turn
The nightmare.... is there
Allowing you to continue
With the deceit
That pains and burns
Eats away at the soul
Breaks the senses
Never allowing yourself to achieve
What the heart already knows
{ Break in chorus }
Close your eyes.... close your eyes
Away.... away
You go
Dream a dream
Nothing.... nothing
Is ever.... ever
Never ever....
As it seems
[2nd v:]
Eyes open to view what
What can be seen
Heart and mind closed for reasons known
And not wanting to ever again know
Later
You will try to figure out
Just what
Does it all mean
Hold on
Hold on to that thought
Hold on to what you feel
Could and can
Be true
Love you gave up on
And so long ago forgot
Tried to forget
The love you fought
Try so hard to forget
Resurfacing again and again
Like a ghost trying to find their way home
Trying harder to forget
Makes it so much easier
To avoid the regret....
Sammie sails away
On the deep blue sea
Allowing you once again
To be free
Emily jumps so high
Over the glowing full moon
Never again the fool
Not in a million of too soon
Tiger tales allows the obvious
Its never over....
Never over
Too.... too soon
[ 2nd ch:]
This nightmare
Won't let me breathe
This nightmare needs to end
Let me be free
Set me free
Never again to know
What it once upon a time was to be
Was once.... me
Is it
Can it be real
{ Sometimes it is all too real }
Is it just what should be
What the heart fears
{ The heart no longer beats to know what was once real}
Is it
What you ignore
{ Close your eyes....pretend its not real }
What you feel
{ What you know you no longer want to feel }
In the dream
We close our eyes
Its not real....
Just all of what
You may.... you just may ignore.... but feel
The nightmare
Continues
Never letting go
Making you remember
What you just don't want to know
With each step
Of every breath
Of.... ever day
No matter where you turn
The nightmare.... is there
Allowing you to continue
With the deceit
That pains and burns
Eats away at the soul
Breaks the senses
Never allowing yourself to achieve
What the heart... already knows
