Nightmare of All Nightmares
Last night I had a dream
that scared me half to death
I found myself running
but could hardly make a step
My feet were intertwined
and my legs gave out
I fell hard to the floor
and almost passed out
As I looked behind me
to see what I was running from
I see a picture of my past
and realized what was to come
this picture kept coming toward me
staring me right in the eye,
as my feet moved faster
But I stood still
I felt I was going to die
But this picture behind me
that I had seen
Was no cliché monster
From the old movie screen,
and what did my eyes
Find behind me,
Me and my lost brother
drinking and driving
