I don’t want to sleep
I don’t want to close
MY EYES!
Evil begins to seep
I get a lethal dose
In this darkness I can see
Hidden behind a veil
OF DOUBT!
The darkest side of me
The monster in every tale
It takes a hold of me
It’s tendrils on my skin
It won’t let go of me
Nightmares about to begin
I can’t escape it’s hold
It’s to damn strong
It’s made my blood run cold
FOR FAR TOO LONG!
I used to be able to resist
Now I must confess
I lost the will to protest
I must rest.
I used to cry
I used to care
I used to lie
Once upon a Nightmare
It shows me what I fear
It doesn’t care when I writhe
IN MORTAL AGONY!
Its laugh is all I hear
Before it wrecks my life
This darker side to me
It haunts me day and night
LIKE A BEAST!
It leaves me in agony
I can no longer fight
(GIVE YOURSELF TO ME!)
It takes a hold of me
It’s tendrils on my skin
It won’t let go of me
Nightmares about to begin
I can’t escape it’s hold
It’s to damn strong
It’s made my blood run cold
FOR FAR TOO LONG!
I used to be able to resist
Now I must confess
I lost the will to protest
I must rest.
I used to cry
I used to care
I used to lie
Once upon a Nightmare
What remains of me
Lies swallowed in darkness
Consumed in bitter agony
And smothered by sweet madness
I have not the strength to run
The nightmare’s just begun
I’ll never see the sun
I
CAN’T
SEE
THE
LIGHT!
Somebody save me
Somebody wake me
SAVE ME FROM MYSELF!
SAVE ME FROM THIS HELL!
I can’t resist anymore
Help me I implore
It’s up to you to restore
All that’s missing from
MY MIND!
MY MIND!
MY MIND!
Lost in shadow
Hidden by sorrow
Not yours to swallow!
It’s just to much!
It’s just not fair!
I used to care
My mind was my lair
Once upon a….
NIGHTMARE!
