The life and opinions of...

Nightmare

I can't see the ending
My eyes are fading
What can wake me
From this nightmare

Yeah everyone gets sad sometimes
Has some bad nights
When you try to talk it out
It gets waved off the shelf
Its just a bad dream
Every person has them who sleeps
But little do they know
Don't they know

Most people wake up

And don't mess up what I'm saying
I know its not all the same for every type of pain
But for those with brown flowers in their hair
Or a soul stuck in despair
Who are stuck in this nightmare

You're in too deep

You're forgetting you're asleep
And these lies and these fears
Become your reality
Numbing the pain
Filling your mind with seeds
The monster who hides underneath
Starts to slither and creep
To the pillow where you sleep
He infects your mind
                          your thoughts
                                         your dreams
Whispers things in your ears
No girl or boy should believe
And you can't wake up
At least not by yourself
When the light from the window tries to drag you from this hell
But you roll over in your cozy sheets
Switch over another rosy cheek
Continue slipping into your own alternate reality

And its hard to admit to the truth
It was all in your head
The dreams that haunted you in your bed
You felt dead
But you're not alone
Whether you're without a home
Or famous and well-known
Whether you still dread going to school
Or everyone thinks you're cool
You are not alone
In the scribble you write to the abyss
While others dream of true loves kiss
Does it go like this?

I feel like demons are attacking me
Inside out
Don't even realize its happening
These lies that they feed me
That suicide will free me
They know that it tempts me

Why can't I be happy

The world is full of misery
Full of pain and children screaming
Out for an answer to their unending suffering
My time here is only ticking

Let's just break the clock
Smash it to the ground
Stop gasping for air and let myself drown
My friends and family say they love me
But whats the point of being when I'll never be happy

Just give me a sign
Tell me to keep going
This voice in my heart
This wind that keeps rushing
I think I know who you are
This voice in my heart
Keeps saying you love me
And to keep holding on
You say
I know what its like to hurt and to bleed
Believe me I know
But I also know and speak victory
Over you and these lies that you're living in
I've broken the chains and the door to this prison
So stop living in sin
Addiction
Know that I'm in to the end
On the cross I hung broken
