I wake from sleep, sweating
All my world in turmoil
I look around, finding myself
For a brief minute I am lost…
This hands that lunge at me
I see them so clearly
Holding on to my throat…
I succumb, gasping for air!
Rise, I rise…
From among the ashes, I rise…
The dirt I’m buried in, I rise!!
I wonder why, is this a sign
Is anybody out to get me
I try to see, I try to think…
I see nothing, I see no reason
Why these nightmares grab hold on me
This terror which
This fear that haunts my sleep
I see nothing…Nothing
Am I my own enemy?
Am I the one going against myself?
Holding myself down, suffocating…
Stopping my own breath?
I wake from sleep, sweating
All my world in turmoil
I look around, finding myself
For a brief minute I am lost…
This hands that lunge at me
I see them so clearly
Holding on to my throat…
I succumb, gasping for air!
Rise, I rise…
From among the ashes, I rise…
The dirt I’m buried in, I rise!!
I wonder why, is this a sign
Is anybody out to get me
I try to see, I try to think…
I see nothing, I see no reason
Why these nightmares grab hold on me
This terror which
This fear that haunts my sleep
I see nothing…Nothing
Am I my own enemy?
Am I the one going against myself?
Holding myself down, suffocating…
Stopping my own breath?
