I had a dream last night
A terrible one at that
I was pulled this way and that
Pulled your way and back
Then shot nine times
Murdered in rage

I can’t quite explain
These feelings I claim
But one thing led to another
No longer were you my lover

Trapped deep within my mind
Nowhere to run
Not a place to hide
I try and escape this pain
I just can’t explain

Terror trembles through me
Every blood vessel; every vein
Someone help me
I can’t escape

The walls are closing in
I'm falling down
You uttered those words again
So hard so cold

There’s no way out
Please hear me, please help
There’s no way out

Tears dancing
Frolicking about

What seemed so gentle
A terrible monster was let out
into the dark of the night
I'm afraid I'll never get out
