The Ravings of a Lunatic

I Woke Up Dead Today

I woke up dead today

inside a living dream

I woke up in a nightmare world

the catalyst of screams

I woke up in a torrent

this storm I know so well

I woke up like I always do

inside my living hell

I went to bed last night

but couldn't go to sleep

I lay awake with open eyes

and counted dying sheep

I know that I'm still breathing

and my dead heart beats strong

but how can I be living

when my living feels so wrong?

I woke up dead this morning

I smiled while my soul cried

for though I live and breathe and talk

I'm cold and dead inside
