Somehow when I sleep at night
I had the feeling death would come tonight
This is not true to my story
I'm warning you its very gory
I once had a dream that I had fallen
Someone from above was callin'
A hand had stretched before me
But I had let go you see
For the man before my face
Was someone that I chose to erase
He still haunts me in my dreams
Perhaps to give me different means
To the unfinished story he left behind
Or to point to the event to rewind
I do not know why he came
Right back into the haunting frame
He placed misery and shame
Back into the little dame
Somehow no matter how hard I try
When I see him I cry
When I hear him I die
I always wanted to say goodbye
I want him to go away
But that damn feeling will always stay
He was here and now he's gone
Just like the moon from dusk to dawn
The memory haunts me that it was him
Trying to catch me from the perlious swim
I could see him telling me not to die
But my soul just kept asking why
I had fallen into deep water
I was drowning and didn't bother
To save myself from what I had done
From trying to be better than someone
He was there looking sadly at me
I remember that look from my last leave
That face I haven't seen it in years
But when I think of it, there are my fears
The insecurity washes over me like a wave
I try not to think and try to be brave
I know I'll get through this and he'll go away
Then there will be nothing left for us to say
He will leave and I'll be forgotten
Then I will be able to die in peace
The book will close after its final crease
My resting place unknown to me
The place where I will be free
It is then that I awake
To check my pulse and seal my fate
This is not the date
For my own sake
That death will not take me
