A deep, dense fog contains me
My heart is pounding in my chest
The full moon rises high
I struggle to free myself
Shadows seem familiar
Though faces seem hidden in the mist
I close my eyes for clarity
Nothing is what I think it is
Time loses it’s existence
A shadowed face, fingerless hands
I fight the urge to stay
My body weakened by commands
To stay here without question
To live my life amongst the damned
Floating in the air
Lost and locked away - in a masquerade of dreamlands
Can the hero make it
Can he save me from this dream
Before I float away
In this fast flowing midnight stream
I’m sinking below the surface
My breath like bubbles in the current
Held captive in the flow like a lover on the hunt
At last I’ve been delivered
My body ravaged by the torment
Of this I am convinced
Nothing in dreams explain the events
The mind the last frontier
Unexplored and never tamed
Faces remain unknown
And the content- unexplained
