Awaken and I feel sick Like butterflies dying in my stomach Now I cannot sleep The visions creep behind my stare Giving me the reality Of dying in a nightmare Don't say that it doesn't mean anything Don't say you can't die in your dreams I'm running through a familiar hall The nameless overwhelming They keep pushing me they're pulling me apart What I think what I feel what I say Well it doesn't seem to make a difference to anyone but me You can't imagine what I see when I dream It's a wonder that I have not been locked away I don't know why I care who can say Does a little part of me die every night I close my eyes I shut my eyes and dream Don't look right don't talk right why are you not right Don't dress right don't walk right I'll show you the light I wanna be your friend I'm gonna help you blend Into an All-American Clean you up real good like you know I should You'll never be yourself again! Now I know what they mean when they say That resistance is a lesson in futility They can grab they can pull they can break To prove they're strong but I will awake and realize they were wrong So wrong about me
