Dream Theater

Over and over again I relive the moment,
I'm bearing the burden within,
open wounds hidden under my skin.

Pain is real as a cut that bleeds,
the face I see every time I try to sleep
staring at me crying.

I'm running 
from the enemy inside,
looking for the life 
I left behind.

These suffocating memories 
are etched upon my mind,
and I can't escape 
from the enemy inside.

I sever myself from the world 
and shut down completely.
All alone in my own living Hell,
overcome with irrational fear.

Under the weight 
of the world on my chest,
I buckle and break 
as I try to catch my breath.

Tell me I'm not dying!

I'm running 
from the enemy inside,
looking for the life 
I left behind.

These suffocating memories 
are etched upon my mind,
and I can't escape 
from the enemy inside.

I'm a burden, I’m a travesty,
I'm a prisoner of regret.
Between the flashbacks 
and the violent dreams,
I am hanging on the edge.

Disaster lurks around the bend,
paradise came to an end,
and no magic pill can 
bring it back again.

I'm running 
from the enemy inside,
looking for the life 
I left behind.

These suffocating memories 
are etched upon my mind,
and I can't escape 
from the enemy inside.
