It all started when I was three or four   Some children dream, some do more   Before my body fell into a stiff state   Incubus attacked and my mind would create      A nightmare awake   I would gladly forsake    My mother would shake me back to my room, awake   The night terrors gone   Childhood goes on   Kidnappers and Snakes a distant song   All along I was wrong ~ was I wrong?      It came again when I was 21   I bled with prophecy set by my sun   With the lights down the corner hit my face   I swear that was the moment when from the portal they raced      A nightmare awake   I would gladly forsake    My mother would shake me back to my room, awake   The night terrors gone   Childhood goes on   Kidnappers and Snakes a distant song   All along I was wrong ~ was I wrong?      Copyright 2000 Beau Phillips
