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
