Nightmare
In this middle of the night
Perhaps some were snoring
Perhaps some were dreaming
In this middle of the night
The street is half asleep
But in this middle of the night
Here I am, troubled as I used to be
How lucky to live with a smile
How lucky to grow and never lie
How lucky to walk with a blueprint in hand
How lucky to follow dreams and be inspired
How lucky to be on a constant and definite track
But I am not who I wanted to be
And this is the kind of nightmare
The kind of cancer
The other side of torment
Perhaps I will carry as long as I live
The sickness I, myself carved in my heart
Being on the path I have paved
Yet long ago I extinguished
Perhaps I never had a bright mind
I never had and will never have
And this is what I got
In this middle of the night
I wish I have the courage to backout
