Dreams are different
and they are a part of life
behind closed eyes
to open minds

Worlds like the one we share
places we never thought could exist
beings we would otherwise never see
all for fear and enlightenment

None can be more vivid
than the nightmares
fear to make us feel weak
to conquer us in our sleep

Try not to fall prey to darkness
stay in the light
if you wish to see
what is coming after you

My world is blackening
all around me
saving me for last
leaving me no hope

I have reached the end of my dreams
where I am running away
all the fear chasing me
has shut all the gates

It wraps me in the cold
and runs over me
trapped inside a cocoon
I feel everything changing

Carry me to another dream
where I can be free
to change my world
in a new image

Fear corrupted my mind
as I corrupted my dreams
and all those who I thought of
were changed

Sometimes I wonder if we can ever
be in the same dream with each other
It seems to be the only place I see you
anymore

Life is short
nights are long
forever in darkness
where we find a glimpse of light

Don't lose the dream
let the nightmares chase us
fear shows us courage
courage gives us strength

Change is inevitable
nothing is forever the same

Dreams to nightmares
normal to insanity
prey to killer
