I woke up this morning,
Feeling depressed,
Dreams all too real,
And I didn’t get any rest,
I just wanna fall asleep,
But never dream,

There was order,
There were facts,
There was the current,
There was the past,
It flowed so perfectly,
Almost like reality,
But alas, it was but a dream, 

I don’t wanna dream,
Dreams always end with reality,
But honestly,
I can’t tell what is and what isn’t
My dreams are too vivid,
And life makes no sense,
I can’t wrap my head around it,
I feel like I’m surrounded,
By images I can’t identify,
I feel like reality is nothing but a lie,

When real life turns to a dream,
And that dream becomes a nightmare,
And the dream becomes real life,
Nothing ever seems right,

Now I question everything,
Now I question every day,
Some things,
Make me question if I’m okay,
Or has the pain gotten to my brain?
Am I insane?
I don’t know,

How am I supposed to understand when nothing is clear?
When I’m awake,
I pinch myself,
But feel no pain,
When I’m asleep,
I feel everything,
Everything,


I don’t wanna dream,
Dreams always end with reality,
But honestly,
I can’t tell what is and what isn’t
My dreams are too vivid,
And life makes no sense,
I can’t wrap my head around it,
I feel like I’m surrounded,
By images I can’t identify,
I feel like reality is nothing but a lie,

I just want a peaceful night,
Where things can be black and white,
I just want a happy day,
Where confusion never got in my way,

I just want one night of nothing but sleep,
No stupid dreams that make me question,
No more fantasies that make me cry,
I just want to know what’s what,
I want to know why,
Why do dreams haunt me?
I don’t know,
I just want them to go,

I don’t wanna dream,
Dreams always end with reality,
But honestly,
I can’t tell what is and what isn’t
My dreams are too vivid,
And life makes no sense,
I can’t wrap my head around it,
I feel like I’m surrounded,
By images I can’t identify,
I feel like reality is nothing but a lie,

If I’m dreaming now,
Please wake me,
If I’m not,
Please tell me,
Please explain to me how I’m supposed to tell,
Because right now I’m dreaming of a waking hell,
