Once upon a Nightmare
Lost inside my nightmares,
slipping through the scenes.
I'm an actor in this play,
and there's nothing I care to say.
They're swallowing my sanity,
injecting these thoughts,
like drugging a lab rat,
to see how I react.
And I know,
you find joy in this experiment.
And I know,
you like to watch me break down.
And I know,
you stand there with your clip board,
writing down everything that makes you laugh.
I walk around, slamming into glass walls,
I hit the ground, everything turns grey.
I hear the sound, of these walls collapsing,
shattering all that is this world.
Reflected in the shards are fragments of my memory.
I touch one, it crumbles, a spear thrust in my mind.
Every time I try to remember what it feels like to have solace,
I'm impaled by some wicked dream.
All that I know,
seems to be leaving me behind.
All that I care about,
seems like one complex illusion.
I need to open up my eyes
and truly see,
see what is becoming of this reality.
Cut!
What are you thinking about?
Hey can you hear me?
*snap snap* Welcome back my friend,
I'm glad you can finally hear me once again.
Now stand up and drink this potion,
it'll make you remember anything.
Welcome to the vicious circle that is my dream.
