Dream Catcher

Why can't my dream catcher keep the nightmares at bay?
I still dream where I scream, but no one hears what I say.
I dream that I jump or get pushed off a cliff.
I'm falling fast and I can't seem to get a grip.

I dream of being cheated on in horrible ways.
I'm tired of the tricks my mind always plays.
I dream of loved ones lost like they're still alive.
I wake up hoping and die a little more inside.

Your brain knows how you feel deep in your soul.
It knows your worst fears and your biggest goals.
It knows the things you'd wish for before you do.
Can't it just make it all suddenly disappear?

The sadness of what you fear and what you want is overwhelming.
Seeing loved ones, you wish were still here is just overbearing.
Dreaming of losing more loved ones is soul crushing.
I can't take it; I can't keep my heart from breaking.

Dreams make me yearn for things I can't have in life.
I can't stand to think of people who left me behind.
My heart needs a break from my subconscious.
It cannot handle being constantly exhausted.

These dreams make me want to cry.
They even make me question my life.
Dream Catcher take these bad dreams away.
Let them fly away, into the stars they can stay.
