Sanity
Sitting in the darkness the nightmares closing in
My mind all but tortured with no way to escape
Surrounded by the past no way into the future
Everything is fading as I balance on the edge
The darkness is like quicksand sucking me into it's depths
My cry of alarm goes unheard losing my last step
Trapped in this nightmare world my mind has conjured up
Fighting for my sanity afraid what losing it might cost
Struggling and fighting, my sanity all but gone
My mind totally fractured, my senses no longer my own
How did I get here, what world could this be
Lying in the bed, the straight jacket holding me
Trapped inside this world, my mind no longer my own
Nothing can help me now, I am all alone
I fear this place I'm in, why can't I get out
Doctors say my sanity is all but gone now
No way to fix my mind and I am trapped inside
The sand has run out and this is goodbye
The nightmares claim me and I accept my fate
I close my eyes and pray, Sanity awaits
