Implosion of the mind
The dread too palpable to hide
Engulfed by shadows
Darkening visions inside
Reality is left behind
Normality is undefined
What you see is what you get
But vision is maligned
There eyes are on me
A stare that cripples every nerve
Withdrawn of verve
Now a motionless body
A realm of dark conception
Where perception is deception
A malicious introspection
Creates a malevolent inception
Nocturnal nature
I'm a slave to the greater darkness in my mind
My saviour won't be the light tonight
Sanity's a wager
Nothing to fall in my favour
The shadows become an imitator of my horror tonight
The sensations real
Pinned down by fear but still feel
The burn, the sting
A taste of blood but no scars that bleed
Lungs pleading for air
My rib cage is crumbling
My straining voice coughs out nothing
Ignis fatuus in my eyes
I can't pick apart this nightly disguise
That's chosen me to tyrannise
It's breaking all conscious ties
Victimized in a lucid trance
My minds eye doesn't stand a chance
Nocturnal nature
I'm a slave to the greater darkness in my mind
My saviour won't be the light tonight
Sanity's a wager
Nothing to fall in my favour
The shadows become an imitator of my horror tonight
In my sleepless dreams
A world of shadows is what I greet
A weight upon my chest I can't breathe
It's suffocating my screams
In my sleepless dreams
A world of shadows is what I greet
A weight upon my chest I can't breathe
It's suffocating my screams
Nocturnal nature
I'm a slave to the greater darkness in my mind
My saviour won't be the light tonight
Sanity's a wager
Nothing to fall in my favour
The shadows become an imitator of my horror tonight
Nocturnal nature
I'm a slave to the greater darkness in my mind
My saviour won't be the light tonight
Sanity's a wager
Nothing to fall in my favour
The shadows become an imitator of my horror tonight
