The night is fuzzy from the haze of the soft lights street lights porch lights I linger, swathed in slumber The shadows have teeth deep set, many searching eyes red eyes mad eyes I linger, swathed in slumber The world is barren all others dead to the night they sleep we sleep I linger, swathed in slumber No one can save me I cannot wake up from this Frightmare Not-right-mare Someone-turn-on-the-light-mare The-shadows-start-to-bite-mare! I linger, swathed in slumber The shadows move in the lights won't work—nothing works! I can't Wake up! I linger, swathed in terror

I had a dream
The night is fuzzy from the haze of the soft lights street lights porch lights I linger, swathed in slumber The shadows have teeth deep set, many searching eyes red eyes mad eyes I linger, swathed in slumber The world is barren all others dead to the night they sleep we sleep I linger, swathed in slumber No one can save me I cannot wake up from this Frightmare Not-right-mare Someone-turn-on-the-light-mare The-shadows-start-to-bite-mare! I linger, swathed in slumber The shadows move in the lights won't work—nothing works! I can't Wake up! I linger, swathed in terror
Just had an awful nightmare, and now I can't sleep, so I wrote this instead
