Incubus

We hope to dream when we sleep Pleasant thoughts flow as we count our sheep But what happens when the nightmares come We give in to terror and to darkness we succumb Scream as loud as you want but no sound will play Run as fast as you can but you won’t get away This is after all your twisted mind at work Watch out behind every corner a demon will lurk You can’t run from your mind The truth is always harsh and unkind After all no one knows your fears better than you So tell me what it is you think you can do The demons will never leave Stop looking to the bright side and being naïve Just accept who you are and stop tempting fate Free up your night because you and misery have a date
