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
