They say that dreams are a magical place,
Where dragons are slayed,
Where you can travel anywhere you like,
And nonexistent animals are made.

There is an exception though.
At times the devil visits me
And likes to play around with my head.
He won’t let me go free.

The walls close in on me,
Causing me to suffocate.
Every breath gets faster and faster,
Then I realize it’s too late.

No more am I in a dream
But a horrible nightmare
Where I run and run and run
Nothing is fair...
What could at first be paradise,
is now not a paradise.
My worst fears come to life
Just wait, wait until you realize.

I hear the cackling from the madman,
and I scrunch myself in the corner.
I cover my ears but it echoes through,
the cackling gets stronger and stronger.

The demons think of something new,
They wait for me,
They wait frightenedly patiently
I am scared of what I'll see.

I'm falling to my death,
It's a nightmare
I'm being chased till my last breathe,
It's a nightmare
I am scared to fall asleep
I am so scared that I weep.

I hope to find a dream when I sleep,
But I what find is a nightmare
I pray to see peaceful and pretty sheep,
But what I see is a nightmare
Sometimes when I sleep I am haunted
And it is causing me to be daunted.
