In The Dark

I woke up in the dark tonight once again
The sun is hours away from that horizon stain
I can’t get a full night’s sleep anymore it seems
I don’t ever remember any happy dreams

But the nightmares come
And I remember them
Seems like good dreams all have died
Wake or sleep it’s all the same

I’ve got a screwed in backwards kind of rest
I get three hours in the night
Then I wake like a candle burning bright
Just to wait here for the light

But I’m oh so tired
Since I can’t remember when
When I go to bed tonight
I will do it all again

Maybe life is the dream
And the nightmare is waking up
If that’s the way it is
I hope I sleep away my life

Yeah maybe life is the dream
