I’m Not Asleep
Struggling to stay awake,
On this dark night
My world begins to quake
I fear that I’m not alone
They’re coming for me
From the unknown
They come in one by one
Now it’s time,
It has begun
They have come to seal my fate
I’m in this terrible nightmare
As they drag me to their fiery gate
I watch myself burn
Dying inside,
For freedom, I yearn
To see myself from other eyes,
To watch myself scream,
I only hear their deafening cries
I’m in my worst nightmare
I know it’s all over,
When I see that stone-cold glare
Rising is the feeling of fear,
Dancing shadows on the walls
Watching the light disappear
I see a menacing shape
It is then that I grasp it,
There is no escape
I hear the sound I dread
The silence being broken,
The blood being bled
I am trapped in this horrible dream
When they call my call my name
In an ear-splitting scream
I know now it is the end,
I’m being taken apart
By this heartless fiend
I feel the life being taken away
As I watch myself
Be led astray
Something is wrong
Something inside
When your dreams and reality begin to collide
This place where I am, devilishly dreary
I know I’m letting go
As I feel my limbs grow weary
What my dreams have become,
No man shall know,
Only that this fear must be overcome
My dreams have become my worst disguise
Keeping me from reality,
Known as the cave where the demon lies
I try to wake from this darkness so deep
Except when I realize,
I’m not asleep
