Nightmares

The darkness falls so soon
A few bright hours every day
Some precious hours
The ones I sleep away
Because they wouldn't leave me
Leave my head
When I'm so fucking tired
They whisper about the dead
Why I should join them
In a hole in time
Sedated in serenity
Forever stand in prime
I cannot sleep
They've infected my mind
How would the ones around me react
Would I be left behind?
In fright and confusion
With lack of knowledge and braveness
Maybe they'd walk away
And I'd be left alone with my nightmares I guess
