I've found a phobia so feared if left to feel ev'ry eye will cry, ev'ry spine will quiver, the weakest will cause their own death. This inertia is beyond me... Will you be an aid to drift me away? Lying down, my mind is vacant with the exception of a hollow haunting; the thought that taunts me: What will I have after I’ve done all I know? Every man for himself will be an omen. This may as well be the apocalypse. Waiting is a death sentence and indecision is a guarantee. Be the change or suffer the same. I’m not scared to close my eyes, it’s when I open them again. I’m not scared to close my eyes, the horror already began... This is the nightmare: trapped in this trivial routine. Shake me, startle to wake me, scream and yell at me. Don’t let me fall asleep!
