I seem to be, <br />Perfectly Happy, <br />On the outside. <br /> <br />I seem to be, <br />Perfectly Happy, <br />On the outside. <br /> <br />But inside I’m drowning, <br />In pain, <br />That’s too real, <br />I’m dying and bleeding, <br />Is this what dreams, <br />Are made of? <br /> <br />They can’t be, <br />Made of these, <br />These nightmares, <br />That form my life, <br />Please come see, <br />What is wrong with me, <br />I need to know, <br />I need to know! <br /> <br />I want out, <br />Out of this Misery, <br />I want back, <br />My calm, <br />Sweet, <br />Innocent, <br />Dreams. <br /> <br />Blackness, <br />Is all I get, <br />When I close my eyes, <br />I should get light, <br />And happiness, <br />But even when my eyes, <br />Are open, <br />It’s dark out, <br />I see my soul writhing, <br />In pain, <br />Is this what dreams, <br />Are made of? <br /> <br />Come to me in a sweet dream, <br />And save my soul, <br />Rescue me from this darkness, <br />That I know, <br />All to well. <br /> <br />I seem to be, <br />Perfectly Happy, <br />On the outside. <br /> <br />I seem to be, <br />Perfectly Happy, <br />On the outside. <br /> <br />Will anyone save me, <br />From this nightmare, <br />I live every day in fear, <br />Of this nightmare, <br />Is this what dreams, <br />Are made of? <br /> <br />Come to me in a sweet dream, <br />And save my soul, <br />Rescue me from this darkness, <br />That I know, <br />All to well. <br /> <br />I seem to be, <br />Perfectly Happy, <br />On the outside. <br /> <br />I seem to be, <br />Perfectly Happy, <br />On the outside. <br /> <br />But inside I’m drowning, <br />In pain, <br />That’s too real, <br />I’m dying and bleeding, <br />Is this what dreams, <br />Are made of?<br /><br />Emily E.
