Nightmares Raw

Four walls are caving in a sinkhole swallows the bedroom Falling falling falling down I awake by the sounds of my screams nightmares raw with the melody of Grimm's lullaby Blue is the shadows soaked into a deep purple night images of a doll with the devil's smile The claw of a tree branch scratches the window glass flashes of lighting and you see it staring by your bed Drowning in a pool of your own sweet sweat hearing the haunting echo of a lonely winds howl Shutters slamming to the rhythm of souls damn mumbling in voices unknown Dreams of dread stirring in your head grind your teeth and spit them out The hour is frozen in bewitching time you suddenly awake again paused with fear Turning on the lights shadows of evil crawl away haunted by nightmares raw Leave the lights on sleeping with one eye open Tying up that damn doll
