A Dream Living in a house with you Parents crazy, drunk and raging Some guy is sharing drugs with them too We watch a movie, pretend not to hear The screams of your little sister, being beaten The crash of empty beer bottles on the street It is impossible to ignore You start crying I've never seen you cry before... Change of scene Some sort of fight A competition Dancing, happily Crazily Dizzy, I fall down Somebody picks me up and I continue But fall again Somebody else yanks me up and pushes me down again I'm being shoved around Stop, please, it hurts Everything hurts 'You killed me' Oh, I'm so sorry I know I've been bad I shouldn't have fallen But you keep pushing me down Suddenly someone interferes Pulls me up and scares the bully away You? I can't believe it Why are you saving me? We're enemies, aren't we? Well, in my dream we're supposed to be We fight a little, but not violently What the hell? How did I end up in your arms?? We were just fighting, weren't we? Hey, you're really comfortable Your arms wrapped tightly around me I feel safe I close my eyes and breathe you in Mmmm this is nice But someone calls my name and my eyes fly open I jolt What's happening? I'm confused I want to go back to you We're enemies, aren't we? No, just in my dream No, leave me alone! I want to go back... Someone pulls me away from you Why are you hurting me?? Stop it! I'm dragged back, reaching out for you And I whirl around to face the offender You?? What are you doing? No. I don't want this. Hey! Get off of me! I scream, you laugh He hears but is somehow glued to the spot Change of scene Back to the house You You take me to your room Shut the door tight, just before something is thrown at it What's happening? I'm confused I notice you've stopped crying But you're staring into space I take your hand and plead with you to tell me what's happening You say I wouldn't understand I want to help you Tears are streaming freely between me and you You turn music up loud I hear swearing outside your door Screaming You try to comfort me But I'm confused What's happening? You take me in your arms You try to block things out It doesn't work What's happening? You rock me and I close my eyes What's happening? Screaming, crashes, laughing outside You turn the music up louder Someone crashes through the door You try to protect me No! Help me! They drag me away from you You are somehow unconscious No, please, don't hurt me! I whimper and closemy eyes I wake. |
