I know the creatures that hide in my dreams aren't real
But I still fear that one day
They'll come crawling out of my ears
They'll trample my world
And destroy who I call home
They'll lace my tongue with poisonous lies
And call themselves my alibis
I don't want to see the cavern before me
I don't want to see the floor littered with gore
Please
I just want them to go away
And still they stay
I don't want to be here anymore
I can hear their claws tearing at the door
I just want to get out
I just want to sleep
God, please just set me free
My mind is Hell and my body is no more than the devils empty shell
I just want it to end
But a nightmare will never end
Not even when you're awake
They follow you down the steps of needles
They embrace you with cold hands
I'm ready for them to leave
But I'm afraid of what I'll be
They say they're helping me
They don't want me to be free
They tore off my wings
They told me to jump
I flew downwards
I'm free as soon as the ground hits me
