DO I DARE SLEEP TODAY
do i dare sleep today
to close my eyes and rest my body
to let my dreams take me away
when the nightmares want my sanity so badly
do i dare sleep today
to meet the terror of my mind
i wish the fear away
but they have my body in a bind
i dream of monsters made of flesh filled human jaws
i dream of demons with tortured souls within their paws
i saw a man so violent and brutal
he seemed to be the eminence of the land
but how when the land of my mind is mine
on my sanity this man will dine
he holds my life in his hand
there's no hero for him to battle
do i dare sleep today
knowing i may never wake
do i dare sleep today
demons are what he will make
if i don't sleep today
how will he haunt my mind
do i dare sleep today
he will surely not be kind
these nightmares plague my every thought
if my life is what he sought
then i will give him what he wants
i'm done taking his taunts
and with one motion of this knife
i will take his and my own life
so as my life will come to an end
the laws of my mind will finally bend
i need no more time
i have curved the unbendable line
