The sun beams through
My eyes open to
A white sky, blocking blue
Silent / beautiful
This happens every morning
Am I dead or still alive
Caught in a dream but will never realize?
Stuck in a loop, tempted to jump
Running from you, thought it'd be fun
Stuck in a funk, emotional runt
I’m on a treadmill while I'm running amuck
Someone pinch me, this can not be real
Why does my skin feel like something I can peel
Heavy headed, I can't ever seem to lift my spirits
Maybe the seance really worked and wasn’t just a gimmick
Scriptures hidden in the inside of my timid lil mind
Even though I do it's bidding - I put up a decent fight
I wanna to fly away - how high must I have to be?
Until a hypnic jerk slams me back to reality
I can not seem to budge, can this really be sleep paralysis?
Holding grudges long enough for me to form calluses
Kicking and screaming - I must be asleep
Seeing a demon - does he notice me?
Feeling defeated - quite the breathing
I'm trying my hardest to not make a peep
I know that you know that just know that I know that
Play dead till they kill me and ripping the toe tag
They tell me take Prozac, I'd rather smoke joint wraps
Which keeps me from dreaming & REM sleep, I might crash
Stuck in limbo
Pinch my ego
Every time I compare myself to other people
The Alarm Clock rings
I Haven't moved and inch
Will I ever wake up from my own imprisonment?
[F.S.]
I see me running
I can feel it coming
Till I trip on something
Then I wake to nothing
Hypnic Jerk took away my visions
Yes it hurts when I meet collision
My dreams are a composition of what's real and tradition
You love this life I live this life
You want this life just be alive
And realize the inner eye
See sinners die, but so will I
So am I enough to point out lies?
I'm sorry If disappointment just pointed
I'm sorry if disagreement just screamed it
Know I mean it, when I said I would go back
But see looking back I see it was just a dream
Lost in a melody, Pellucid Dreams was able to shift my mind so calmly
But now I feel it, Hypnic Jerk, I see him, see it hurts so deeply but I wake so easy
Mind so greasy, sounds so creepy, visions streaky, I’m so sleepy, dreams are witty
Wake me up, too much sleep don’t want to be greedy
