Weary are my eyes

As they beg for sleep

But laying down

I won’t sleep a wink

--

Troubled is my mind

Conflict causes despair

Restless nights

And tousled hair

--

Toss and turn

Turn and toss

Maker of dreams

You aren’t my boss

--

Troubling dreams

I shan’t repeat

Keeps me awake

Deprives me of sleep

--

But eventually, I know

I will find solace of mind

The bad thing is

It will only take time

--

Dreamcatcher, Dreamcatcher

Take me away

Block all these dreams

In the dark they should stay

--

Dreamcatcher, Dreamcatcher

Let go of my mind

I can sort this out

It will only take time

--

Dreamcatcher, Dreamcatcher

Stop this please

Let this be my last breath

Or my last sneeze

--

Dreamcatcher, Dreamcatcher

Your work is undone

Please let me sleep

When the sky lacks the sun

--

Dreamcatcher, Dreamcatcher

Go away

You’ve caught the wrong dream

There’s no reason to stay

--

Dreamcatcher, Dreamcatcher

I’m caught in your web

Don’t eat my dreams

Let me live instead

--

Dreamcatcher, Dreamcatcher

Now this is the end

I will die soon

Don’t torment my friend

--

Dreamcatcher, Dreamcatcher

You will slowly burn

Be careful what you wish for

For it you will earn
