Bad Dreams

Downward spiral I'm sinking ever deeper Trying to climb out But the walls are getting steeper Stuck in this rut In my mind's eye created Should've gotten out sooner But I just procrastinated I see the light at the top Getting ever smaller The dimness all around me Growing ever darker My handholds are failing As I start sliding faster No idea where the ground is I'm flirting with disaster Then I hear the voices Fear grips me like a vice They're calling out my name They tell me to pay the price Then my grip gives way And the freefall takes control Only a matter of time now Before the ground will take it's toll Not much longer now I start to hear their laughter Drowning out all the other sounds Because it's my death they're after But it's only me that's laughing As I finally realize That I'm standing by a mirror Staring into my own eyes
