Still Life

Take a look in the pool and what do you see
In the dark depths their faces beckoning me
Can't you see them its plain for all to see
They were their oh I know you don't believe me

Oh I never felt so strange
But I'm not going insane.

I've no doubt that you think I'm off of my head
You don't say but it's in your eyes instead
Hours I spend out just gazing into that pool
Something draws me there I don't know what to do

Oh they drain my strength away
Oh their asking me to stay
Nightmares, spirits calling me
Nightmares, they won't leave me be.

All my life's blood is slowly draining away
And I feel that I'm weaker every day
Somehow I know I haven't long to go
Joining them at the bottom of the pool

Oh I feel they are so near
And I begin to see them clear
Nightmares, calling all the time
Nightmares, will give me peace of mind.

Now it's clear and I know what I have to do
I must take you down there to look at them to
Hand-in-hand then we'll jump right into that pool
Can't you see not just me they want you to.

Oh we'll drown together
It will be forever
Nightmares, forever calling me
Nightmares, now we rest in peace.
