The Nightmare Goes On

I cannot shake this notion

It haunts me through the streets

The height is that of giants

The depth is that of seas

The words refuse my tongue

They tear me from my sleep

You ask me why I cry

But I cannot bear to speak

The nightmare goes on

Won't somebody wake me?

I cannot bear this notion

Its hand, an icy clasp

I bear its weight at all times

You need not even ask

This sadness in my eyes

The burden drags me down

It shames the storm outside

God knows I've tried and tried
