Pinch me
Am I dreaming?
The sights are foggy and the lights are gleaming
The moon is dark and the sky is beaming
But I felt your pinch, so I can’t be dreaming
Â
I am being chased by some unknown
If I look in its eyes will I turn to stone?
Will it try to eat me bone by bone?
It’s coming closer…it’s not alone
Â
I try to run, but I go nowhere
Is there meaning this “dream” is trying to bare?
Am I filled with guilt or overwhelmed with despair?
What will stop this endless nightmare?
Â
In the distance, I hear screaming
From the fire of which the house is teaming
Is it really there or is my mind just streaming?
Pinch me. Am I dreaming?
