Nightmares Growing...

He sleeps in the silence, something is wrong
The sinner sleeps on; the nightmares grow strong
Waiting to grow larger along with the night
He begins to realize that he cannot fight
Sweats on the bed, his nightmares are real
He starts to shake; they're real enough to kill
…Mirthlessly feeding, enlarging, growing,
Luring, tossing, inside they're turning…

Masochistic horrors of subconscious mind
Nowhere to run so he's easy to find
Trapped into a sleep of endless nightmare
Prying eyes of unknown keep on the stare
Unearthly cries, forever groaning screams
Nightmares grow stronger, nightmares kill dreams
…Silently heeding, speechlessly gazing,
Engrossing, needing, burning, enraging…

Obscenities twisted by a mind of sin
Taking and destroying his mind from within
Insignificant pictures distorted to memories
Disturbingly telling his long lost stories
Waiting and beckoning when in slumber he lies
Resting with its black shadow until he dies
…Wordlessly pleading, silently howling,
Tossing, turning, from within burning…

A parasite feeding on trial and retribution
Nightmares returned from fear's connotation
He would be safe if the past could die
Cannot wake the lie, so he gives in his try
Sleepless in sleep, his reality steps in
Sharp as a knife, it cuts through his skin
…Spotlessly bleeding, eternally flowing,
Feeding on past, his nightmares still growing…
