Alone at night
laying in the dark
My soul leaks onto my pillow
as I try to avoid the visions
That I know will come again
to haunt my slumber

ooo...i've felt this way...for some reason when we get to the colder seasons...i have repetative nightmares...and i know, as i lay in bed that i may be trapped in the dream again.
I like the line "My soul leaks onto my pillow"

Sins of the past get amplified in our dreams at times and come back to haunt us. The weather does play a hand in it I beleive
