Your eyes are closed as you twist in your bed,
Kicking at the sheets as the nightmares fill your head.
The lights are down low just like your soul,
It's been quite awhile since you have been whole.
A monster is eating at your beating heart,
You're trying to escape but don't know where to start.
Run, run, run as far away as you can,
Back into the corner where you'll suffer once again.
Darkness consumes your body devouring it inch by inch,
No signs of struggle, you don't even flinch.
Evolving into a creature of pure destruction,
Losing your humanity and the ability to function.
Feel your mind slowly slip into the abyss of pitch black,
Now that you're devoted, there is no returning back.
All of your hopes erase from existence,
Even your brightest dreams no longer show luminescence.
Locked doors appear, your brain stuck in limbo;
The blood in your veins growing cold, coming to a slow.
Fearing the evil rising, ascending from your aggression,
Even the tightest chains won't contain this deadly depression.
Searching for the key to a door with no lock,
Fall back to sleep, your demons are about to knock.
Darkness consumes your body devouring it inch by inch,
No signs of struggle, you don't even flinch.
Evolving into a creature of pure destruction,
Losing your humanity and the ability to function.
Feel your mind slowly slip into the abyss of pitch black,
Now that you're devoted, there is no returning back.
An endless desire to solve the mystery we call life,
Has led you down a path of barbarity and strife.
Mutating your mind into an unknown labyrinth,
Your weakest parts now buried far beneath.
Your actions become malignant, a sight to never be seen,
Reality just struck, you aren't living a recurring dream...
Darkness consumes your body devouring it inch by inch,
No signs of struggle, you don't even flinch.
Evolving into a creature of pure destruction,
Losing your humanity and the ability to function.
Feel your mind slowly slip into the abyss of pitch black,
Now that you're devoted, there is no returning back.
