I dread the darkness of my dreams.
As I slumber, it's sorrow that I see.

Skeletons with scarlet skulls seek satisfaction.
A squalid squadron that scares my soul.
Their furious faces are so frightening.
I hear the high hiss of their howls.

They march through wind and marshes to wage war.
Defiant, they bring doom and destruction
In the name of the devil they adore.

As I run under rain for refuge,
The feeble road fails under my feet.
A crevice cracks my ankle,
A crazy creature creeps from the scarp
And bites my bones to bits.

I beg for the brightness that will blast the shades that shock me.
I call for the cool morning to come.
But fighting is futile.
In this obnoxious night, I’ve run the final mile.
It is all to no avail,
Dead without a leaving trail.

Caustic crystals corrode my brain
I’m in a crisis
I’m going crazy
I’m criminally insane

An iron hammer hits hard
My hands are heavy
My head is hazy
A hundred blows to the heart

Taken by schizophrenic thoughts
I’m terrified
Trembling from hair to toes
My stomach is tied
Tangled in tormented knots

Vast bubbles of blood
Blast the burning veins
Boiling arteries burst
And all the bleeding is in vain

Today I woke up in fear
That tomorrow you won’t be here
I wish my house could forever be your home
I dread the rainy days I’ll be alone
And open my eyes to see you’re gone

I crave too much
Your velvet hands, your corduroy touch
The gentle warmth of your embrace
The silk of your hair brushing my face
The glowing ember in your eye
The blazing shine when you smile

I fight with the anxiety
Facing the unbearable reality
That night pushes away the sun
That we’re racing a pointless run
That our castles will shatter on a blast
And we’ll soon vanish in the past

And even though I understand
A snowflake will melt in my hand
We are only guests in this foreign land,
Still I’m scared of the winds that blow
And not prepared to let you go

But I must not wake up in fear
In this radiant morning we are both here
With your head resting on my shoulder
I will blow all dark clouds over
To let the sunshine ease my mind
And celebrate we are alive
