Deadliner

So I close my eyes and drift into sleep
But something is here in the dark, in the dream
Like a cruel wind clutching my heart, I feel more than I see
Like a clue to a nightmare that I can't believeThen it touches me and I try to scream
And a thought tears me inside
And I will do anything, anything, you understand?
Just to wake upSometimes it almost makes me cry
Sometimes it seems to call my name out loud
Sometimes it feels like I'm alone
And then it comes for me againI'm told it's called the unreality dream
I'm told it's called the great American lie
I'm told that this is like the vengeance of God
I can't believe that God would do this to meI've known fear many times but nothing like this
I'm so scared, I can't breathe
I know I'm asleep but I know this is real
And no one can help me hereI'm deep inside something and I may never come back
And then it was gone
And then I realized that the rush brought it in
And I will never sleep alone againSometimes it almost breaks my heart
Sometimes I swear, I hear it laugh at me
Sometimes it feels like I could die
And then it leaves my dreams againFeels like I'm fighting the possession of my soul
I'm told that this is called the sickness of need
I've got to cut the sex connection and slide
A word of warning to the weary and wise
