Dreaming 1995
I used to have a dream over and over again.  I'm not sure why but it felt like the year 1995 to me.

Into the darkness
Deep into sleep
The dream worries me
The dream makes me weep

The end of my life
Haunting my thoughts by day
Haunting my visions by night
If I could stop it, there is no way

My dreams revolve around that time
One instant when my guard is down
My life ends as I know it
A loving mother collapses, friends frown

A dream that scares me
Should I stay, should I flee
Wouldn't help, it follows
Can't get away, when will I be free

The black hood shines
By moonlight and pouring rain
The corner seemed to change
My body fills with sudden pain

Twisted metal lays around
My vision grows dark, I can not see
Pain spreads fast, adrenaline is gone
Please, please, someone help me

I awaken somewhere else
Tubes and wires lengthen my life
Her smile brightens my dying heart
Who is she, a friend, my wife

Long brown hair, hazel eyes
Very beautiful, makes me proud
An alarm sounds, worried looks
Doctors, Nurses crowd around

The pain grows, my body jerks
The beep is quick, then slow
Pain leaves, sadness appears
I love her so much, I don't wanna go

My life is over at a young age
Don't forget me, memories you keep
Into the darkness
Deep into sleep
