Nightmare

What happens when the subconscious mind and the conscious mind collide?

Dare I enter

Into such dreams

Where reality

Is as vivid as it seems

Here in the center

In the core of my mind

Surrounded by incredulity

Trepidation is what you’ll find

 

Nightmare,

I fall endlessly

While you stand by laughing

Hopelessly

Strapped to an electric chair

While you flip the switch

All the while hoping

To cure that seven year itch

 

Devils,

Try not to be so tragic

When defiling the masses

Let me work my magic

On the fools and rebels

They’ll soon see the light

When from darkness passes

A dastardly knight

 

Fear,

You never let slip

Even when I’m flying free

I’m always in your death grip

As I stand here

Looking over the ledge

Thoughts pass as I see

You’ve brought me to the edge

 

Terror,

Like the great Appalachins

You stand as a testament

To the fruit of my sins

With a tremendous fervor

And undying zeal

You call me to repent

But I’ve become unreal

 

The scars run deep

In all my dreams I’m dying

Panic attacks shake my core

Despite all my trying

I can no longer sleep

It’s too much to bear

I can’t take much more

Reality is a nightmare
