D.R.E.A.M.



So many of us dream at night.
Especially when we're sleeping right.
Some of our dreams may not seem so nice.
Full of spiders and hornets and feeding mice.
People with sharp teeth and creepy eyes.
They poop out of their nose and sneeze out ice.
You hear a banjo and then you think it's time.
Time to wake up but you're deceived with lies.
You travel through dimensions and you see the light.
It creeps around the bushes like it's sneaking by.
Give it a chance and maybe you'll believe this line.
You taste the music and you start to see the rhymes.
You wake up and you let out a relieving sigh.
Then you go right back to sleep and dream tonight.
