Nightmares of Past
I close my eyes, and immediately start to create Falling into a chasm, passing through time and space I can't stop rubbernecking all of my past mistakes They're painted like hieroglyphics on the walls of this cave The disappointments are flowing like a river of shame My body dives in and immediately starts to ache Feeling like an empath, every emotion has its place Chains wrapped around me tied to a concrete base Making it an impossible struggle to win the oxygen race I can't seem to pinch myself to see if I can wake And the blood in my mouth is leaving a metallic taste As my fear and adrenaline bite a hole in my face Suddenly snapping out of it my body begins to shake The real world comes into view, heart beating at an incredible pace To my right, i see my daughter lending me all of her grace Though my sweat's covering my face like little salty drapes She hugs my shoulder, giving me her loving embrace And saying "Daddy, everything is okay."
