I'm having nightmares again
Heart racing, troublesome visions
It's dark, I'm alone

I am sinking in quicksand
My hand outstretched
People wave and smile
And walk on by

The world is angry with me
Spinning off its axis
I am reaching out
Seeking comfort

No one is there
Only the yelling
Distraught and dismayed
I'm having nightmares again

These days I avoid sleep
