Wasted in the Basement - Dream 365 Lyrics

I am stirred from a deep deep sleep, with vague reflections of a dream
I sit up straight and wipe the nighttime from my eyes, then I start to realize

There is no logic, no order or no sense, the place where I've just come from
It seems absurd and yet it feels so real, I can't ignore the way it makes me feel

Coffee starts flowing and I begin knowing
Shards of truth came with me through
I turn and I look at the door that is closing
As welcome light fills the room

Yellow eyed dogs chased me through the night, snapping at the calves of my legs
I could run no faster I could not find my door, the space between less, terror more

I made it through with just seconds to spare
Door closing with trembling hands
Collapse on the floor and then I catch my breath
I think I have robbed the jaws of death

Coffee starts flowing and I begin knowing
Shards of truth come to my mind
I turn and I look at the door that is closing
And wonder at the world I left behind
