The night was very dark and deep
As I danced along the edge of sleep
I grasp the knocker on dream's door
And wait till I can wait no more
Body and mind surrenders and slumbers
And my dream self is left to lumber
Perplexed, being neither here nor there
Confused at being everywhere
Drifting in memories, sifting through time
With this dreamy hourglass of mine
The Nightmare Man wanders close nearby
Waiting to show me his next big surprise
My dream self starts to feel some fear
With a gasp I realize he is here
I feel him although he's not in sight
My dream body froze refusing to take flight
He whispers and caresses along my cheek
Tells me of the sadness he seeks
For he will forever haunt my dreams
Reminding me nothing is what it seems
