When You Die in a Dream, You Die in "Real Life"

I open the glass just enough to peek
Just enough to find out
who is playing this soundtrack
my mind goes blank and face goes pale
pure fear entangles my entire body
squeezing the breath out of me
a darkness, indescribable, sweeps past
freezing my soul; stealing my speech
and just as quick as it emerged it is gone
and i slip to the ground
because no-one cared to catch me

I have a cane and trembling arms
weak from the fight and blind from tears
I have no chance of living.
He is way too big and I've got nothing left
I look to you for help
pleading with everything I can while still fighting
you don't even look over
you're too busy
and the world goes black
but I still can't wake up

The water is rising
and i know i should be running
but i think I'd like to drown
Everything spins and it's peaceful
until i feel a cackle and it's not me
I don't want to die but
it's too late and I can feel the cold.

You're scared before you speak
i feel it
on we walk, still, through the dread
my eyes meet others and
i can't help but look away
i think maybe we should go back

you're way ahead, but i can hardly move
he's closer now and i can see the finer detail:
sharpened teeth and blood red eyes
a limp because of a gaping wound
i reach the house and plea for help
he waits at my door
before you say "it's alright"
a scream pierces the air from the door
and i fall to the ground at his feet
and sit straight up at the
exact.same.time
