Lethal Injection
—When reality becomes your nightmare and to wake means to die—



I've been having bad dreams lately.
I dreamt of being rushed into a hospital
Overdosed by a sleeping pill, it was a nightmare.

The next thing I knew I was on a dark corridor shivering in sanity.
It must be because of the drugs, was it Ecstasy?
It was given to me by a friend,
He said it could help me stay awake.

The drugs didn't work, now I can hear voices in my sleep
I can feel the sweat as I run on the street.
They are following me, they want to kill me!

One plunges towards me. I pulled a knife out of my pocket.
Blood spills, my hand shivers. After that they vanished!
When I thought it was over there they appear again and got me struggled.
They got me abducted, tortured me over the weekend.

I've been having bad dreams lately
I'm having a bad dream now.
Officer please help me, all I want is to wake.
Wake me, all it takes is just a stroke of syringe.
