Half-dead
The scariest thing in my life is a dream See, I’m a lot lonelier than I seem I’m afraid to fall asleep Because I feel the nightmares creep In one nightmare I’m alone No one but me is in my zone I pray to god for just one friend But I’m alone until the end Another dream it starts the same But the way it ends brings more pain In this dream I have friends to see But it’s not long before they leave In both dreams I feel depressed My mind can’t take all the duress And that’s about when it appears To put an end to all my fears It seems such a little thing For all the relief that it brings A small white bottle filled with pills I take them all, my pain it kills At first I die then I awaken Disappointed, feeling shaken That dream-death seemed so appealing An end to thought and pain and feeling Every night my dream self dies Without so much as a goodbye But there I am in my bed Still alive but no less dead
