Doctor, Doctor

They say dreams are the gateway to the show, the subconscious like dreams are the free movies you subscribe to once you close your eyes If that's true then what kind of movies am I subscribed to What on earth do I think about while I sleep This nightmare, the images I can't get out of my head I repeat incomplete are my thoughts as I fail to sleep yet these drastic slumbering memories find a way to seep through the disguise of a day going all too well freaking swell Doctor, doctor please tell me what all of this means Doctor, doctor tell me one thing is 'delusional' the ailment to my disease a spectacle of sorts Doctor, doctor What does it mean for you to be possessed in comatose by a ghost then proceed to rip apart your own skin to remove the demon within shouting that you will not die today What does it mean to witness video game like death a female apparition scratching names off her list as she takes life after life in search for her daughter just to kill her too then resurrect the players to pursue and destroy again What sense does any of this make to be saved by a gaming controller from a pack of werewolves on an abandoned dirt road Doctor, doctor what is your diagnosis Doctor, doctor Doctor, doctor could you tell me something, anything Doctor, doctor or would you shrug it off make a joke and tell me to sleep it off tell me to kill myself in my dreams so I only find truth in my demise like a personal cocoon to retreat in and relive the moment where I thought I was in immortal only to float back down on my magic carpet bound and gagged for me to be killed by corrupt castle guards till I wake up in a panic a childhood movie ruined internally Doctor, doctor am I delusional or am I really that evil for even my dreams wish to bury me so far deep in the ground
