Nightmare Epiphany

Dalia floated like chimney ash up into a shredded sky
 It was raining acidic trash, on the moon there crawled a fly
 Burning Teslas were driving by
 At their wheels, evil clowns
 And from the darkness there came a howling
 Then somehow it called her down

 Then she saw him howling fury
 As he struggled with elastic chains
 His parents smiled coldly
 As they shackled him down again
 There were leeches that were spiders
 And spiders that were flies
 The very stones who were his teachers
 Laughed in mockery
 Then sweet Dahlia reached out to him
 And she tried to pull him free
 But the fallen angels that ran the place
 Enfolded him with monstrous glee

 Then Dahlia woke (then Dahlia woke)
 In clinging sheets (in clinging sheets)
 Her fever broke (her fever broke)
 But the dream remained (but the dream remained)
 She couldn't forget him (she couldn't forget him)
 Though a season passed (though a season passed)
 She wouldn't let it (she wouldn't let it)
 Slip away
 And then she met him down at the mall
 On the edge of the parking lot
 Seems that he went to her school
 She was popular, he was not
 I remember, he told her then
 "I'll never forget the dream of chains
 You tried to help me, tried to descend
 Offered me something besides my pain"
 And now I've found you in this concrete world
 That only fools believe exist
 See, I knew that you belonged to me
 In my nightmare epiphany
