I bet I could fly
If I willed my body enough
That means I could escape from here
But life would be tough

In a dream I had
I had feathered wings of snow
I kept trying to take off
Every time my stomach sank low

You know that feeling your middle endures
When falling back to land
Or when on a roller coaster
With your face in your hands

When I took off
My stomach felt this way
I felt the drop in real life
Though I thought the feeling in my dreams would stay

Pain when stabbed
Is as real as it gets
Kissing a girl
Ties me in knots

I thought the emotions
And physical elements of it all
Would stay in my dreams
But they won't at all

I wake up scared
Alone and in pain
Because my dreams are real to me
My mind is not sane

I don't want to sleep
For fear of the after math
What use to be my escape
Is now the scariest Path
