My dreams consist of many demons
They haunt me through the night
I haven't any good reasons
To minimize my plight

I'm up before I'm ready
I go about my days
With the fear of going back to sleep
Just happy I'm awake

A never ending battle
A war I'll never win
Always starting over
The beginning of the end

Stopping for a minute
Just to catch my breath
Caught by a giant spider
Got stuck up on its web

Spun inside to be eaten
At a later date
How did I end up here
Could this be my fate

Trapped, I feel conflicted
Escaped my demons for a time
Worth every single minute
In myself, I do confide

Finally eaten and discarded
Bare bones and little waste
Though numb, I've been released
From occupying this place

Worn out my rude welcoming
I attempt to plead my case
Gone but not forgotten
I've vanished without trace

Woken just in the nick of time
Sweat pouring down my face
A dream within a dream
Dark as outer space
