    Bewitched 2
    *
    I hear it making a buzzing sound
    It's in my face it wants a place to land
    It's dark I'm fighting a buzzing sound
    Buzzing like a mosquito I can't see it
    -
    It's the wee hours of twilight just after o'clock
    In the dead of the night my nightmare is up
    A bad dream has me sitting up on my bed
    I'm afraid of the invisible hands tying me down
    -
    The buzz landing in my ear enters me
    I can feel it threads slowly to my head
    Really afraid now I'm follow it's course
    What ever it is it flows with my blood
    Voices are whispering a bad lullaby
    -
    Female voices I recognize I'm calling them to get away from me and leave me alone
    I'm sweating shiver, what are they doing to me, what's moving inside my brains
    -
    The threading stops I wake up sweating
    What kind of a dream was this?
    My God I was half awake thru it all
    I heard the buzz, I felt it entering me
    -
    There's no such thing as witchcraft
    I'm trying to convince myself at sunrise
    Then if there's no such thing as witchcraft what's inside me why my mouth has a bitter taste?
