Nightmare II (feat. Karis Oka & Amy McMillan)

Run

Fast past vast throes of roses, toes in mud and blood in noses
Rows and rows of flowers, they take years to grow, but burn in hours
Weaving through the towering trees, we wheeze and cower, sparks shower
These bright white lights that swim through air like frightened fish in shark encounters

Nan and Grandad-

Of course not
This is way before your time

I spot not-Nan and not-Grandad and hot heat hits me from the side, when we
When we?
When I?
Alright
When I look down my body isn't mine
I don't know who I am, I try to ask but I can only whine

Splinters digging into skin. Wind that's whipping in. Shin splints. And it begins
Smoke chokes my throat, broken oak stokes the flames that frame my folks
They cry out in a croak, they're cloaked in fire; terrified and fleshy pyres
All alight. They burn alive. I watch them burn alive. I watch them-
