A Midnight Clinic's Portrayal of a Nightmare Autopsy
Written By: Raul A. Rodriguez

excuse me doctor, I'd prefer it if you wouldn't choke me in my sleep
I can hardly breathe during your nightmare autopsy
cut me open only to see the things that kill me in my dreams
doctor nightmare, diagnose me

what seems to be the problem doctor,
why do I get these visions in my head?
why can't I sleep without thinking of death?
I want to dream of things like success
but every day I wake up, it's from some kind of bad dream
and the only thing that saves me is when you wake me up
but you're choking me!
what kind of procedure is this?
this has to be another nightmare, you don't exist
I'm trying to pinch myself as hard as I can
but no matter how many times I wake up
reality just becomes my dream
a doctors after me, and he's not well
he's the one that kills me in my dreams
with a scalpel in his hand he sings
to the tune of a heart monitor in "D"
he's cutting slowly, and as I begin to bleed
in my ear he starts whispering
"what are the things that make you scream?"
all of this just for a diagnosis sheet?
sometimes you've got to bleed crimson for these things
but when it's over it'll have helped us to get better
I can't wait for no more bad dreams
doctor nightmare, diagnose me

excuse me doctor, these are the things that tend to make me numb when I try to run
like when you chase me in my dreams when you should be operating
now I've lost all feeling, and every day I wake up it gets harder to breathe, please
doctor nightmare, diagnose me

help me cure this bedtime bug
give me all of your dark hour drugs
all I want is one good hour of sleep
I'm lucky to get fifteen minutes of peace
but it's hard to when your choking me
how can I sleep when you're choking me?
how can I breathe when you're choking me?
I have these bad dreams where you're choking me
I pass away at the midnight clinic during your nightmare autopsy
I swear I always bled crimson for things like this
here's your fucking diagnosis
"death"
