The Doldrums

In a dream There's someone I hate A smile creeps across my face As they burn there at the stake Their hands are bound They're crying out But then I jolt awake with sweat pooled at my brow Well, if that was me then Then who am I now? I can't erase the past and I won't close my eyes All I ask is silence from the noise inside my mind There comes a time in every life When you have to question what it means to be alive If that was me then Then who am I now?
