Lately when I sleep perchance to dream I'm driven to the brink of madness By the things I've seen With perfect clarity I see From all the chapters of my life Faces staring at me Mocking me with laughter full of spite Falling deeper into this sea of doubt My lungs are filling up And it seems there's no way out When I wake and I reflect on what I've dreamt I can't shake the penetrating Stares that haunt me with contempt I've been judged and been found wanting By a jury of my fears And this feeling of such worthlessness Is tearing me to pieces Falling deeper into this sea of doubt My lungs are filling up And it seems there's no way out I never saw the thread as it was sewn Connecting all those faces I had known But somehow now they all respond in kind I'm struck down like a child And I'm afraid I'll lose my mind Please release me I don't want to feel this any more I'm terrified that this could be A glimpse of what's in store At Peter's Gate I can't shake it I've been judged and been found wanting And I'm worthless Falling deeper into this sea of doubt My lungs are filling up And it seems there's no way out Falling deeper into this pit of dreams The nightmares stay with me And I struggle not to scream
