Conquering the Nightmare
I lie in bed at night
Kicking and thrashing under the covers
I try to run, but I can’t
I am having the nightmare again
I hear the words chasing after me
I can’t escape them
They follow me through winding halls
I am having the nightmare again
I see their faces
They are laughing at me
They are haunting me
I am having the nightmare again
I try to hide
But they always find me
They always are lurking in the shadows
I am having the nightmare again
Suddenly I turn around
I take the words right from their tongues
I throw them in a river and watch them swirl away
For now, I am conquering the nightmare
Kicking and thrashing under the covers
I try to run, but I can’t
I am having the nightmare again
I hear the words chasing after me
I can’t escape them
They follow me through winding halls
I am having the nightmare again
I see their faces
They are laughing at me
They are haunting me
I am having the nightmare again
I try to hide
But they always find me
They always are lurking in the shadows
I am having the nightmare again
Suddenly I turn around
I take the words right from their tongues
I throw them in a river and watch them swirl away
For now, I am conquering the nightmare
