It starts simply — nice and slow

But the current grows so quickly

Skipping stones I didn’t throw

You’re sinking beneath me

I try my best to pull you in

I'm kicking and screaming, you slip

And I wake up in a sweat

To see you’re next to me

Still quietly in bed

I know I’ll fail you again

I’ve got this weight on my chest

Just dying to breathe

I know I’ll fail you again

I feel that hand at my neck

And it’s only a dream

But I know I’ll fail you again

The worst is

It happens twice every time

How perfect

I'm terrified, ever violent sequence

Repeating before my eyes

This can’t be right, I'm speechless

And weakened, and when it ends

I wake up in a sweat

To see you’re next to me

Still quietly in bed

But I know I’ll fail you again

I'm afraid to sleep at night

Every time I close my eyes I'm fighting

Get me out, get me out

Cut me open, bleed me dry

I’d rather that than have to see you crying

Get me out, just get me out of

All these dreams you die in
