#rock #indie #onetake I had another go at the prompt in a different style.

Nightmares come in all shapes and sizes The worst come when you’re awake Or at least you think you’re awake But you’re not quite sure, Something seems to be strange

The people are all normal, they’ve got letter boxes for eyes And they look at you with yearning To determine the depths of your lies And they hover inches above the ground That’s where they say the truth will be found

And you want to call their bluff But you’re afraid of just what they will do So you shamble along, singing comforting songs to yourself And you hope that the feelings will pass And the damage itself will not last

It’s a waking nightmare
