Hey Nightmare

It's bedtime now but I know better,

If I slip into sleep you'll haunt me forever

You grab me with your fingertips

Your cup of poison I will sip

My mind is now a war torn place

You've reached my dreams and won't let go

I'm tainted now, souls can't be replaced

Happiness seemed so real

But then you took reality away

And filled my head with bitter lies

Morning is too far away

To wait for your demons to leave

This time I might not wake up,

Your demons will take me away

Before i have time to scream
