Worried About Dreaming

I am worried about dreaming
Because the nightmares envelop me
Always the same, always repeating
A night out alone and a forgotten meeting

I’m worried I’ll lose feeling
Stays with me for days even though it is fleeting

I’m tired, I’ve stopped speaking
Nothing to quell them, no chance of intervening

Worried about dreaming
Trapped and I am reeling
Worried about dreaming
Trapped beneath the ceiling

I am worried about dreaming
Cause I can never seem to find my feet
It’s half past 8 and I’m still fiending
To get another drink to kill the pain

I’m worried I’m not healing
So I hide away, pretend I’m okay
And there’s no shame in believing
That I’ll be somebody someday
