The rush of fear to even sleep With just a thread of hope I have What if I simply let it in Or clench my jaws and take the blow? As I lay I slowly fade away Into a place of inevitability And why is it happening to me? I'm full of life but I can't breathe It appears from the darkness My body burns in its presence As I softly sink into the dream The door has opened, I can't resist A candle placed upon a bedroom table The storm outside defies to stop The room grows colder in its presence I'm not your fire, let me burn! Let me burn! I see its shadow, the blackest black The widest grin from ear to ear I see its tail like a snake I feel two palms upon my back Visions spark before my eyes Like a forest flame I am ready to confess in every crime I never did And why is it happening to me? I'm full of life but I cannot breathe Scream and shout, don't want to sound My body lost its structure I swear I'll start to believe in God If he could give me rapture! The lifelong terror, half-time dream Eternal minutes feel surreal I plead my savior to release me The savior I call will What has just happened to me? I was dragged to hell, but now I'm free!
