Deadliner

So I close my eyes and drift into sleep

But something is here

In the dark, in the dream

Like a cruel wind clutching my heart

I feel more than I see

Like a clue to a nightmare that I can't believe

Then it touches me and I try to scream

And a thought tears me inside

And I will do anything

Anything, you understand?

Just to wake up

Sometimes it almost makes me cry

Sometimes it seems to call my name out loud

Sometimes it feels like I'm alone

And then it comes for me again

I'm told it's called the un-reality dream

I'm told it's called the great American lie

I'm told that this is like the vengeance of God

I can't believe that God would do this to me

I've known fear many times, but nothing like this

I'm so scared I can't breathe

I know I'm asleep, but I know this is real

And no one can help me here

I'm deep inside something, and I may never come back

And then it was gone

And then I realised that the rush brought it in

And I will never sleep alone again

Sometimes it almost breaks my heart

Sometimes I swear I hear it laugh at me

Sometimes it feels like I could die

And then it leaves my dreams again

Feels like I'm fighting the possession of my soul

I'm told that this is called the sickness of need

I've got to cut the sex connection and slide

A word of warning to the weary and wise
