Nightmare - Craig J. Hansen

Lost inside the shadowland
Just as real as streams
Walk beside the flying man
Listen to his mad schemes.

Hang onto the safety line
Retake control
Just awake enough to find
Where a dream should go.

Nothing here like it should be
No one here is staying
Streets a faceless mystery
Want me to remain.

Up ahead I see a sign
Words that I can’t read
If I can just stay alive
Might be all I need.

Chorus
People, places, anxieties
A nightly carousel
From where they come or what they mean
I can never tell.

When the moon is rising high
When the stars align
Dreams are savage, strange, and sly
They can take your mind.

My feet are moving slow
Can’t seem to run
Flying blind with no control
Hope this dream is done.

Chorus
