As I walk in dream shadows
Silent still
Run from fire eyes burning
In darkness born
Chased down nightmare highways
Forever fleeing death
In the end you can't escape him
Silence growing still
But from the living shadows
Of the stuff of dreams
Escape from this spider nightmare
Until the next night you do dream
And down the same ol' dusty road
Your mind it seeks release
Terror thoughts are given shap
Bats and spiders too
Into grotesque horrors changed
These demons just for you
Say it's all in your mind
And rationalize while awake
But I know life is but a dream
With only one escape
