Epiphany (updated to incorporate RayC's excellent suggestion)

Y'know when you're having a bad dream, and you KNOW it's only a dream, BUT...you can't wake up? Then you suddenly wake up, but realize after a few minutes you're only dreaming that you're awake, and you're really right back in the bad dream? Huh. Maybe that's just me...

She slowly set down the glass and said
“Honey, what are we doing here?
We’ve been together for so very long
We’re getting stale just like this beer”

I opened my eyes and stared at her
I didn’t recognize her face
I looked in the mirror and had a thought
I better get out of this place

Cuz the walls were moving
Closer together
Old habits are so hard to break
With nothing left to prove
It’s now or never
Am I asleep or am I awake?

I stumbled out of the living room
Like I was having a bad dream
I wandered out into the front yard
And I really wanted to scream

She was not too far away from me
And she kept on talking away
I put my hands up to both my ears
I didn’t care what she had to say

And the walls kept moving
Closer together
Old habits are so hard to break
With nothing left to prove
It’s now or never
Am I asleep or am I awake?

I can see the insides of my eyelids
Or is that the blackness in her soul
I can’t forget all the things that she did
It’s a story that needs to be told
And I guess it’s about to unfold
Just give me that smelly old blindfold
…and a cigarette

Cuz the walls are moving
Closer together
Old habits are so hard to break
With nothing left to prove
It’s now or never
Am I asleep or am I awake?

Cuz the walls are moving...
