Night Terror

Shadows dancing infront of the digital clock
My overtired brainflesh is simply screaming
Red numbers blinking seven-eleven to mock
Even though I know I'm just dreaming

This mind is a twisted phantasmagoria
Ideas and images invoked by nothing
Thoughts thrumming in a satanic mantra
All born of my own demented imagining

Scared, frightened, tortured and bludgeoned
I can't wake up - can't stop this deadly feeling
In my sleep, it all happens in a single second
Can't get away from this nightmare I'm living

I run in circles only to be trapped again
I'm just waiting for this dream to end
In the night life's perverse playpen
Waiting for the alarm's sweet godsend

The buzzing wrenches me from sick sleep
Jolting from the abyss to reality's subsoil
Screaming, choking, burning eyes will weep
While I curl up in bed and untwist the coil

Can't close my eyes without flinching
Nightmares, nightmares, haunting me
Darkness will always come calling
No way out, no way of being free
