My Dream's But A Drop Of Fuel For A Nightmare

My painted face I'm a clown
And I'm laughing while my dream turns into a nightmare
Fade away I'm asleep
Not too deep.

The walls of night have left me scarred
The broken glass I stepped on twice
The ardent spirits' rusty edge decapitate me.

I can't sleep fear darkness
Go through the motions did I fall asleep?
I'm bowling the old nine pin a sign unwanted.

Now I'm a target I'm hot and frozen
Stormy rain I'm stuck in an elevator
Wet from the muddy water
Breathing hot air winds convey me.

Bababababaaaa
The number talks and I cry in my own Hell
Bababababaaaa
Wide awake I'm asleep see a friend as a ghost.

I'm skating with a seal
The tarantula the fly the broken ring
The dusty little flea
An ugly giant a disappointed child.

Here comes a rabid snake
The broken violin a wild ballet
Shakespeare and company
Refuse to kill the kitten scratching me.

I'm falling I'm falling I'm falling I'm falling - awake.

You know if you believe the dreams the nightly visions worlds entwined
Then you also fear your shadow paranoia part two.

All the good things in my life dwell in my mind
Took a wrong lane every day I hear myself say
Sickening's this feeling my life my hopes my dream's but a drop of fuel for a nightmare.

They all turn out the same
My destiny my flame
Believing is control?
No
The painting comes alive
Takes me inside a world without a name a place beyond compare.

Believe the dreams that let you sleep
The broken glass you need to sweep
The book you read; if you found an explanation
To help you in any way
You are your own prison.

Woke up today
The good and the bad and the ugly dreams are gone
Jumped off the carousel.
