When sleep takes me You're always there. You're in all of my nightmares. The ocean swallows us I gasp for breath I watch as a wave drags you under And suddenly you're gone. I plunge beneath the water Bubbles form around you as you thrash You struggle Trying to fight the cold force I reach for you To  save you But you are beyond my reach You sink deeper and deeper. I stare into your eyes as you sink Deeper and deeper into the water I cannot save you Suffocation takes over me I am forced to return to the surface of crashing waves Gasping for breath I dive under again But there is no sight of you You are gone. Sunk. Dead. And I could not save you. But when I wake. The nightmare doesn't end. You are not here And I am alone.

When I wake the nightmare doesn't end.
When sleep takes me You're always there. You're in all of my nightmares. The ocean swallows us I gasp for breath I watch as a wave drags you under And suddenly you're gone. I plunge beneath the water Bubbles form around you as you thrash You struggle Trying to fight the cold force I reach for you To  save you But you are beyond my reach You sink deeper and deeper. I stare into your eyes as you sink Deeper and deeper into the water I cannot save you Suffocation takes over me I am forced to return to the surface of crashing waves Gasping for breath I dive under again But there is no sight of you You are gone. Sunk. Dead. And I could not save you. But when I wake. The nightmare doesn't end. You are not here And I am alone.
