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
