Nightmare

haunting me, this graveyard
bone-yard, when mass is over
walking like a wraith
dreams repentant

talking in my sleep,
falling down the rabbit hole,
wake up, Alice
no

the price paid, and paid
for something i never did
why to be so punished
and made to cry

this nightmare grips me tight
a punishment in my own mind
please no, please no, please,
i swear i didn't!

the drums are beating
dance, girl, dance
MOVE girl move
shake those hips and make me proud

hypnotized, laid bare,
this nightmare kisses my lips with screams
and still it holds me tight
let me go, let me go,
wake up, Alice
no
