Worried About Dreaming

I am worried about dreaming

Because the nightmares envelop me

Always the same, always repeating

A night out alone and a forgotten meeting

I’m worried I’ll lose feeling

Stays with me for days even though it is fleeting

I’m tired, I’ve stopped speaking

Nothing to quell them, no chance of intervening

Worried about dreaming

Trapped and I am reeling

Worried about dreaming

Trapped beneath the ceiling

I am worried about dreaming

Cause I can never seem to find my feet

It’s half past 8 and I’m still fiending

To get another drink to kill the pain

I’m worried I’m not healing

So I hide away, pretend I’m okay

And there’s no shame in believing

That I’ll be somebody someday
