Nerves.

Dreaming anguish, wide
awake,
Pray to God these nerves
to take,

Festering that fosters
me,
The other equation that
begs to see,

Dreaming anguish; wide
awake,
Pray to God this hell
to take,

Painful shivers throughout
despair,
Face of the faceless lay
cold and bare,
Hiding from the glare,

Dreaming anguish; so wide
awake,
That other equation; that trembling
fake,
Severing the circuit to kill
the snake,
Pray to God these nerves
to take...
