Shake the dreams

from your hair

Awake

without a care

My mistake

is to have no fear

around you

Take your time

and know me

Make a sign

to show me

Fake, and

you will own me

surrounding you

Comb the snakes

of your head

All it takes

is dread

Mistake

could mean you’re dead

drowning you
