Dreaming Nightmares


Dreaming Nightmares

It's raining, it's pouring
The young man is snoring
Lying in the sea of burdens
Where he's surely certain
He'll live the rest of his life behind closed curtains
From the people he was hurting
But most of all, it was himself who caused the most harm
Hiding behind a religion, reading the book of Psalms
But already stained with the blood on the face of his palms
Trying to remain cool, collective, and calm
Knowing he's only a pawn
Moving one step at the break of dawn
On and on, the game plan is drawn
He can't stay on the straight and narrow
Defeat one by one on a crooked path seizing the pharaoh
The war is just beginning,
And there's no such thing as a hero
He maneuvers through the first wave blood being splattered
Friends and memories he had being shattered
Saying, “Damn, can this get any sadder
But right now it doesn't even matter”
As he approaches the last line
He's running out of time
Queen, Bishop, and Rook are coming from behind
At this rate, he'll put the King in check-mate
He comes to the King and asks,
“How you want your last breath?”
Queen came from behind and gave him a fast death
Woke up thanking God it was only a little rest.
