nightmares come

nightmares come

A Poem by Shane Brooks
"

old song people really liked i but it was a little to soft for what were are doing

"

you blinked at the perfect moment

could not hold tight enough

reality cold crushed the myth

the dark plot so sinister

I can't explain it you shine like paradise

so deep you scar so bright you burn my eyes

could not see through a thin desguise

the promise of the body

got addicted to downs

to soothe these nightmares

don't give a s**t

nobody cares

happily we go to the flame

just numbers we have no name

fall down and sink  into

when theres no more love left in you

even through torment

you should still feel some peace

some sort of rest

release

nightmares come

nightmares come

nightmares come until darkness

show me the light take me away

nightmares come

nightmares come

darkness fades

despair seems so dramatic a word

but does little to describe the futility

of seeking hope

there will be no guiding light

no helping hand

no one there to meet you

in the end

there is only yourself

and you must find your own way to rise

to look yourself in the eyes

this is an epoch

this is the nexus

this is the aftermath of all that is

last song I write for you

last time I cry for you

this time I walk away

last song I write for you

I never cried for you I only

walked away
