Close your eyes and slip into a deep sleep Dreaming of better days Dreaming the pain away This shared reality has grown stale and rotten to the core So escape into the world you create You can be anything You can wear the mask of fate Just hold on And don’t let the nightmares escape Let the nightmares escape me

Dangling -- Suspended in a dream The eyes follow me, watching so maliciously 
from Shadows in the corner of where I sleep I try to scream
my voice muted in my throat I can’t shudder
 Paralyzed. Numb But fear still takes me I don’t want to sleep no more
Please wake me up
 The darkness awaits me I don’t want to dream no more
Please wake me up
 The darkness will take me Awake—
unable to shake myself From this nightmare 
bleeding through the veil of dreams Blending these horrific fantasies. Eyes wide and terrified
Petrified Mesmerized
Shadows speak to me Awake eyes wide I’m still dreaming. No sleep - paralyzed - they’re still watching I don’t want to sleep no more
Please wake me up
 The darkness awaits me I don’t want to dream no more
Please wake me up 
The darkness will take me

The Haunting 03:11
We followed blindly Casting our worlds apart Silent approvals Say something, say something Hands tied behind my back I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe You’re the demon who takes me Within reach of myself There’s no one else I can call on Who else can see me here They call for pleasant peace Looking for desperate needs Lessons they claim to teach That’s not me They call for pleasant peace Looking for desperate needs Lessons they claim to teach That’s not me I’d give myself away for what was right I am alone on the outside I’m gone now You’re here to speak for me Guidance and shelter for you is all I plead It’s been haunting me Where is the truth Slowly haunting you They’ve played their games It’s been haunting me Where is the truth Slowly haunting you, you They claim lives We’re stuck here standing by Their perfect design Hands tied behind my back I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe You’re the demon who takes me They call for pleasant peace Looking for desperate needs Lessons they claim to teach That’s not me Hands tied behind my back I can’t breath It’s been haunting me It’s been haunting me

Fever Dream 03:22
Tell me is this real or all a dream Feeling captured, tied up, I cannot scream I see the end, the darkness is wearing thin A false awakening - drives me insane Broken inside Feverish and dying They keep watching Breaking down the walls of my mind The machine keeps me going Pumping life into my cold and lifeless body Subconscious stretching thin Nightmares plague all that’s left of my sanity Trapped within this reality I must endure Following endlessly though the abyss I catch myself inside a room My peers watch as I fail They watch as I wither With eyes of amber With eyes of onyx, they stare At my soul flickering in the air Battling demons and friends alike Indecipherable faces, they collide I am the warrior, I am the samurai I am the alpha, I am the omega Terror dreaming Sleep deeply Help rob myself of the dream I’m Relieved Not stuck in pain Absent memories Falling outside the light Falling out of the sun I am lost without a trace Forever stuck in the sleep In the endless dream Eternal awakening in the horrors

As the sun rises, I forget your face Never thought I’d be this alive again Always cared too much of what you thought of me Sacrificed all I had Waking up from what I thought was a nightmare It was, It wasn’t you Wanted you here, embrace that you’re gone Never return, we don’t belong You ran away to sell your soul Lost everything you had, no self control Ran away, you sold your soul Lost everything, no self control The doors are closing, there’s no looking back What lies beneath the surface will soon be the past Waking up from what I thought was a nightmare An overwhelming dread Waking up from what I thought was a nightmare It was, it wasn’t you Wanted you here embrace that you’re gone Never return, we don’t belong We go round in circles, repeating past events From start to finish, corrupted acts and regrets Held over head You can't stop me now I can’t help you now, you’re on this noose Ask yourself, you, are the best excuse You're on this noose

Inception 02:44
Giving into what I crave voices tell me its all okay So many influences can’t keep my mind straight It’s all fun and games Until the spectrum starts to fade Everyone is laughing Are they laughing at me? Can’t they hear my screams? This is supposed to be fun Why do you have to be this way? Keep up with everyone Line them up, take your shot Then cut the line 1 shot, 2 shots more 2 shots, 3 shots. Floor. Now fucking Rise up and take your place At the throne of this realm Bask in sanctuary Blackout, the light you seek in the darkness Pray you’ll make it out alive beginning of the end One more dive into oblivion A quick escape Soaring above the stars My wings burn in the light Too close to the sun This is a dream I’m not really here I’m swimming in ocean The deep is pulling me down I need to wake up I need to come to No nightmares Plagued, forever dreaming Trapped, eternal bliss Now fucking rise

Nightmares 03:36
As the day fades I close my eyes Bringing me closer I cannot hide Drowning my fears My shame aside Hoping that one day I’ll find the light NIGHTMARES Am I just dreaming? MY FEARS The true unveiling Suffocating, my mind I try, making sense of it all Before I die I hear them coming Figures I can’t describe My eyes focus on the shadows moving side to side Out of site but still in my heart Polluting the purity of my sleeping mind Eternal wakening I’m lost in a familiar space The walls are closing in pictures of my life The stranger smiling back through the mirrors eye I can’t recognize those eyes appear to be mine NIGHTMARES Am I just dreaming? MY FEARS The true unveiling Suffocating, my mind I try, making sense of it all Before I die Drowning my fears Maybe one day I’ll find the light
