The Night Terror

The phasing of my nightmares Through to conscious time Has stolen my last dreamscape As this child screams inside My creations always singing Of the fear that still hides Behind incentive’s reason To pretend I didn’t die This place without a meaning Dressed in ashen love Locking up its history And mopping up my blood The burning of my nightmares Into this black hole Reveals the bold reflection Of the horrors in my soul I’ve shaped my own existence Using broken hearts The red abyss now laid before me Is everything I am so far The truth is all around me The night terror took my dreams This child is now a monster And alone I need to feed
