Frozen in a nightmare
Locked inside a dream
The conscious world outside
Fails to wake you with a scream
~~~
Into its realm you stagger
An unwanting participant
It wields its power upon you
With only cruel intent
~~~
Every fear that has ever gripped your mind
Is now ready to drive you insane
Every moment in loss of self control
Is manifesting once again
~~~
The lights are drawn around you
The stage is nearly set
Alone and lost you wander
Helpless and cold with sweat
~~~
Nothing now can free you
You’re much too far to reach
You hear the creature stirring
An unfamiliar screech
~~~
A primal wave of fight or flight
Sends shivers down your spine
The creature climbs inside your bed
Heart pounding a fearful rhyme
~~~
Your splintered mind lays shattered
Inside a broken dream
A sanity not to come undone
Now ripped apart at the seams
~~
Another waking moment
Another sleepless night
Another nightmare to upend you
And frighten you with delight
