The Sleepless Moon

Dead bodies, dead bodies Why do you haunt my dreams? Nightmares, are all that I see As I'm closing my eyes Goodnight, goodnight The moon highlights The dead bodies Screams, screams Why do you haunt my dreams? Louder and louder Quit singing this massacre to me Why do I only hear Screams in my dreams? Terror, terror You terrible dreams You're reoccurring And frightening You make a mess out of me Terror, terror Why are you all that I see? Why are you the only Thing I can dream? Hell, hell Hell in my mind You play me these lullabies Everytime I close my eyes Dead bodies And screaming Terror galore Am I in hell? Or am I dreaming Once more? It's either I'm dying Or being killed Either way There's blood being spilled Why can't I dream about Love or picking wildflowers? Why do I only dream About evil encounters? Sleep, sleep You're so cruel to me Bloody and haunted I enter my demise These night terrors Are eating me alive Sleep, sleep Why do you Make me weep? Why do you always Keep these dreams on repeat? Morbid, morbid The knife's in your hand I'm gasping for air As I wake up again Why is blood And fear all I see? Why can't my dreams Be bright and fright free? The moon, the moon Oh how you're scary to see Because I know within hours I'll be as sleepy as can be And you'll send me visions Of death and anguish And night after night I'll secretly wish My nightmares would come true So I'd stop dreaming Like this.

What a dark & ominous roller coaster of emotions. How the moon really should help light the way through the darkness. This was extremely intense & moody. Nicely done!
