Here it comes, this queasy fear,
God just get me out of here.
I've gotta run, need to hide,
'You'll be fine', God damn they lied.
Standing, I begin to shake.
Can't you see, the fool I make?
I can't swallow, I can't speak.
Small and quiet, this fool is weak.
Too quick the lights shine in my face,
I've lost my purpose, lost my place.
Laughter echoes, in my head?
Subtly I, wish me dead.
On my back, on the floor,
that's it, can't take it anymore.
Fade away, into nowhere.
My recurring, worst nightmare.
God just get me out of here.
I've gotta run, need to hide,
'You'll be fine', God damn they lied.
Standing, I begin to shake.
Can't you see, the fool I make?
I can't swallow, I can't speak.
Small and quiet, this fool is weak.
Too quick the lights shine in my face,
I've lost my purpose, lost my place.
Laughter echoes, in my head?
Subtly I, wish me dead.
On my back, on the floor,
that's it, can't take it anymore.
Fade away, into nowhere.
My recurring, worst nightmare.

One More Nightmare
If everything is
what it seems,
then where is
the reality of
our dream?
(and what does
it mean when
I'm falling apart
at the seams?)
(With everything that
transpires I only
pray that I
could die here.)
You leave me with
nothing more than
nocturnal nightmares.

Nightmare
I lurk in the lands of dreams,
I am there behind the dancing butterflies,
Behind your imaginary lovers embrase,
I am in her soft kiss.
I lurk in the land of perpetual hope,
Of limitless oportunities.
I am despair.
I am death.
Dreams,
The flickering light of relief,
In my overwhelming darkness.
After a day of suffering,
You still have your imaginings to run to.
What do I have?
What is to comfort me?
As if I chose this.
As if anything would choose this!
To live through each of your fears,
Night after night... never to escape.
I am trapped in the land of dreams.
I am trapped behind the shadows,
Behind the minds fears.
I am

Into The Mental Abyss
Into The Mental Abyss:
To the edge of the very abyss I have travelled.
With worn feet, gone bloodied and bare;
Dragged upon stones that stretch like sharpened spines,
Leaving tattered spoils of flesh in my wake...
Even so, I am incapable of halting;
Like a zombie, I remain numb and hypnotised.
Shambling ever onward, toward the glimmer of light.
Eager to be behold the 'she' that awaits me:
A wonderous wellspring of inspiration and knowledge;
Perfect, yet fragile, in both shape and form...
It is her majesty, her radiance,
That leaves me drained...
Alone in the depths, I am humbled and awed.
Yet the admiration that I feel soon turns corrupt

I wrote this at work while crashing from my lovely Red Bull breakfast high. Don't judge me, I only slept 5 hours and you'd do it too if you had to spend your day transcribing.
