Nocturnal Depths
Nocturnal Depths
The thrashing takes its toll, every time I take a stroll, in the dream land.
Its power is growing stronger, the longer it goes without diagnosis.
It starts with a messy bed, ripped pillows and even sheets, who knows what night time monster I fend off in my sleep.
This is not just at home, as it follows me from town to town. These past few nights I feel like I'm being drown, in the nocturnal abyss.
Who or what ever this is, is coming for my life no doubt. Because every night my family hears me scream n shout.
But I will stand my imaginative ground with no fear, even if the touch of the reaper is near.
Ill fend it off and protect the others.. because I am the only man of the house.. the only brother..
To guard the women in my life is what makes me survive, ill chase this demon out til the day I die.
I act as if im the dream catcher on top of their bed, ready to fight the demon and take his head.
This above all else is a true strength test… as I plunge into the nocturnal depths.
I have no fear of you, and I invite you to dare bring friends… because ill fend you all off until the bitter end.
Night time terror…
