The Price of Its Cost

My nightmare starts when I see
A stare from dead eyes looking at me

A stare from a soul that has always been lost
Seeing through this life at the price of its cost

Feeling the cold on a hot summers day
Listening to the dark in the full light of day

Finding a hole, finding a cave
To stay out of the light
To be lost from the day

My nightmare starts when I see

My nightmare........


Is being the person of me.
