Dreaming of Dreaming

Squinting my tired eyes shut,
covering my ears, 'cause they bleed.
Can't seem to find motivation
to get up and get what I need.

Since when did I get to be this tired?
When did I start crying this way?
Why can't I block out the noises...
Why won't it all go away?

I can taste the car crash between my teeth,
the blood is pounding in my ears.
Why won't these nightmares stop hurting...
why can't i blink past three years?

Squinting my tired eyes shut,
my ears, they bleed as I scream.
I'm running as fast as I can..
and still i can't escape this dream.
