Dark Dreams

For dreams that never let me witness A heart that never helps me see this Inside, a door that leads to heaven But it hides and makes me count to seven For fear that can never seem to leave me Alone is where I always will be Within, I fade and burn the past tense In sin, I only need forever’s silence Dreaming everything that helps it die Feeding monsters the fear of a lie Hiding from a reason to ever cry The demons never even had to try For love that knew nothing of selfless A hole that needs me to be helpless I fight; I’m running for a reason But light is overshadowed by my treason Scars that I can paint by wondering why Brought up in everybody’s dying lie I’ll lead myself to silence when I see Something in my blood is dreaming me Sleeping in the corner of my room Facing away from evil that still looms Past the broken toys and burning screams Darkness has a door that lets me dream
