Nightmare Epiphany

Dahlia floated like chimney ash
     G              Am
Up into a shredded sky
       G              Am
It was raining acidic trash
       G                    F
On the moon there crawled a fly
G       F           G        Am
Burning Teslas were driving by
G                Am
At their wheels, evil clowns
G            F              G         F
And from the darkness there came a howling
    G          Am     G   Am  G
And somehow it called her down

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

Then Dahlia woke, then Dahlia woke in clinging sheets
G         F     G             F
Her fever broke but the dream remained
G                   F  G               F
She couldn’t forget it though a season passed
G                 F G     Am
She wouldn’t let it slip away

                     G           C
And then she met him down at the mall
                   G
On the edge of the parking lot
Am         G              Am
Seems that he went to her school
        G               F
She was popular, he was not
G                F
“I remember” (He told her then)
G              Am               G
“I’ll never forget the dream of chains
             Am                G
You tried to help me, tried to descend
           F                    G    F
Offered me something besides my pain
G            Am     G
And now I’ve found you
C                G
In this concrete world-
N.C.
That only fools believe exists
N.C.
See I knew that you belonged to me
N.C.
In my nightmare epiphany”
