Subliminal Nightmare(The Fight Within)

 

Knock at the door

Wanting to be alone

A thumb in the keyhole

Doesn’t stop the peeping eye.

 

Turn out the lights

Brings on the voices

Begging you to come out

For a game of hide and seek.

 

Crawl under the bed

Hiding with the monster

To use as a bodyguard

Without parental consent.

 

Break for the hallway

Hoping to fool the danger

By laughing in its face

With an eye for an eye attitude.

 

Tragedy cripples

The moonlight

But doesn’t stop

The sun from rising.

[An owl on the moon]

There is such a haunted sense to your words. Those feelings that rise when we're children running from fear.. and can carry on as we're adults too.. as life creeps up on us.. Both a masterful piece visually and one that touches deep inside the mind.

[Ladysue]

I love the last two verses; especially the last one. The last one is quite powerful and can stand on its own...it never stops the sun from rising...and within that there is hope... Fantastic piece...
