Bad Dreams -

Verse 1:

Wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up

in the morning to my everyday beginnings

Know the plays for each inning

So I move with no feelings

But today starts with endings

No movement no feelings

As my tear hits the linen

I reach and feel the chillness of her cold skin

My own kin

Sewn from my oats so these notes I won’t hold in

Screams, cant’s and cries

No she can’t be revived

Feelings can’t be described for a pain of such size

She lay with closed eyes in this crib that I made

From the cradle to the grave

Now more than just a phrase

I can’t be okay

I can’t call for help

Cuz these cards she’s been dealt I with upon myself

Cup my eyes with both hands

So no tears will be wasted

I’ll contain the pain

Sustained as I taste it

Wake up wake up wake up wake up

I wish I could wake up and still be a teen

And realize all I’ve seen was just a bad dream

When you’re sewn in the seams

Things all seem serene

Hear the seer sing

It’s just a bad dream

Verse 2:

They say that nightmares are made of these painful scenes

It’s hard to breathe

I’ll make you see

With ease he made the team

For cheese you can’t believe

His family relieved

Debts paid, get received

Gets played and achieves great accolades

Began to act a way that attracted hate

Then one day after a game

Teammate spat in his face

Disgraced he attacked him with rage

They clashed and crashed to his fate

A fracture’s embrace as he awakes to a hospital bed

With all uses lost in his legs

And what is locked in his head

Besides his locks and his dreads

Is the life he once led

With each breath he wished he was dead

Lift your hands to cover your eyes

To cover the cries

Cuz the sucker inside, pride, makes you suffer inside

Wake up Wake up Wake up Wake up

I wish I could wake up and still be a teen

And realize all I’ve seen was just a bad dream

When you’re sewn in the seams

it all seem serene

Hear the seer sing

It’s just a bad dream

Verse 3:

Realize the time you wasted

Because we’re all aging

And your favorite agents have gave you complications

To your mind, body, and soul

Deny, hardly you’re old

Still you gotta pay the toll beyond the crossroads

But before you cross over look at the life you darted over

Think that you can start it over?

You must not be sober

Don’t be somber, just wander as your slumbering along

Cuz you may never wake up to this song

Wake up Wake up Wake up Wake up
