I woke with memories not my own
In a deep sweat I laid there all alone
The room was spinning I couldn’t flee
Someone else was looking down at me
Later that day a woman wanted to know
What I thought about last night’s show
Perplexed, I had never met her before
This revelation was tough to ignore
My head was full of images that are fake
Something puzzling happened before daybreak
Yesterday my world spun left to right
Now each moment drives me to take flight
I see someone’s memories in my head
I’m tired but leery to return to bed
Maybe I shouldn’t resist falling asleep
If I walk to the edge my soul may leap
I closed my mind but she entered anyway
She was a stranger who stayed until day
When I woke a faint glimmer remained
I was running all night my body was drained
It’s a blend of dreams swimming in my brain
In my sleep state my thoughts travel by train
In and out of the tunnel the engine races
Not leaving behind any lasting traces
When the mind idles the will is weakest
The soul is overcome, prognosis is bleakest
One final dark night I’ll battle these nightmares
I’ll return your dreams and leave by the backstairs
