Running Backwards

Swirls of noxious gas form around me

What is this all this shit I see?

It is surrounding my body like clouds

Does this mean I have no control?

The aroma of the air makes my eyes smaller

Hold my hand as we cross

It is a giant leap for animals

And one step towards liberty

The inside of me is running

But the outside is in slow motion

Why must this be so frustrating?

I can feel someone's presence behind me

The force given off is evil

And I know I must run like hell

What is the matter with me?

Suddenly a pipe falls and trips me up

The way I scream makes it sound like a horror flick

Maybe they won't notice me on the ground

Breathless I lay about looking at purple gas around

Engulfing everything in its path I can't escape

I turn my head to one side and hold my breath hoping to pass out

This dream is never ending

Getting up is impossible

I know I should be lucky to be alive

But not when a giant bee is coming

I can feel its stinger digging into me

At the same time I'm laughing from the gas

What a way to die

The bee doesn't sense any emotion from me

And yet my gut hurts so badly

Someone please hold me down

The world starts to spin round and round

My eyes play tricks

The end is near

I let a scream and snap

Silence…

I move my eyes around and see

Nothing more then a TV and beer

Ah yes…just a dream…and nothing more
