Nightmares

As I sleep tonight,
My minds journey inside,
Leaving behind a trail of tears.

To remember my pain,
My secrets confide,
As I sleep tonight.

Becoming so vain,
In a world that’s lied,
Leaving behind a trail of tears.

My spirits they drain,
And answers soon hide,
As I sleep tonight.

Haunted by things slain,
There's always another side,
Leaving behind a trail of tears.


The reality is insane,
This journey I spied,
As I sleep tonight,
Leaving behind a trail of tears
