I lay alone at night
Resting from this torturous day

I fall to blackness
Never to get away

This evil haunts me
In my dreams it is real
It takes me away, to the deepest chasms
Of my brain

Suffocating
Dislocating my sense of self
My reality is lost and gone
I have no control

Darkness
The silent captor of my nights
Steals my moments, leaves my sights
Leaves me stranded in my mind

My sweet slumber turned asunder
Playing demons of the mind

My sweet slumber turned asunder
Playing demons of the mind

This crushing demon
It feeds from my soul
Feasting forever
Out of control

Until at last comes
The warmth of dawn
It ends my nightmare
Returns my soul

Suffocating
Dislocating my sense of self
My reality is lost and gone
I have no control

Darkness
The silent captor of my nights
Steals my moments, leaves my sights
Leaves me stranded in my mind
