Dreaming the Dreamer

Alcohol, king of dreams
And nighttime nightmares
Pretender magic
Foggy tragic

Fake bravado
Slurring girls
In the grotto
Venom whirls

Pumpkin flesh
Make up mesh
Drinks go down
Emotions drown

Smokes lit
And lit again
Moths quiver
Burning brave

A hellish death
But for the fall
Alcohol beat down
Free will and all

To your knees
The command obeyed
From cab to curb
Nothing staid

Knocked out flat
Real world view
Appearances deceive
Liberate on cue
