An unknown feeling is lit up from inside. Like my grandpa's fireplace, its fire is burning red. Hand reaches up, Trying to hold myself from burning up. "Ouch!", Nose scrunched up, Brows all furrowed., My mind is ragged, my soul is beat... When really... Silence is all I crave. Breathing slow and breathing deep, The sweet pain is all I feel. Call me mad, or call me crazy, It won't hurt, cause I am already. Oh-oh, The unknown feeling has reached me now., Should I stay, or should I run? Fighting, is what I do., With "Happy Thoughts", And "Big Smiles" But sometimes, I still lose the fight. Gasping loud, I open my eyes., I think the world, just took me apart. Darkness is all around me., The feeling of wool under my skin, As I realize it was just a dream. My body unmoving, My mind racing... I can hear the silence I was craving. But now, I feel stuck And empty., Should I go back to sleeping? Ohh... But don't worry, Whereas I am stuck, unmoving, Time is running out. One, two, three... ...tick-tock, tick-tock., Heat is slowly sinking, And my heart is still beating.

Nightmare
An unknown feeling is lit up from inside. Like my grandpa's fireplace, its fire is burning red. Hand reaches up, Trying to hold myself from burning up. "Ouch!", Nose scrunched up, Brows all furrowed., My mind is ragged, my soul is beat... When really... Silence is all I crave. Breathing slow and breathing deep, The sweet pain is all I feel. Call me mad, or call me crazy, It won't hurt, cause I am already. Oh-oh, The unknown feeling has reached me now., Should I stay, or should I run? Fighting, is what I do., With "Happy Thoughts", And "Big Smiles" But sometimes, I still lose the fight. Gasping loud, I open my eyes., I think the world, just took me apart. Darkness is all around me., The feeling of wool under my skin, As I realize it was just a dream. My body unmoving, My mind racing... I can hear the silence I was craving. But now, I feel stuck And empty., Should I go back to sleeping? Ohh... But don't worry, Whereas I am stuck, unmoving, Time is running out. One, two, three... ...tick-tock, tick-tock., Heat is slowly sinking, And my heart is still beating.
