My Own Little Nightmare

(专辑： Random Encounters: Season 8 - 2018)

Adrift in oceans of madness and seas of fear
Awash in whirlpools of hunger and waves of tears
Asleep, my nightmares are merely a dazed ordeal
Awake, I scarcely remember which dreams were real!

So I'll start poking around
Until this thread is unwound
And though the nightmares abound
I'll keep on standing my ground
But as the clues all compound
I've near conclusively found
I'm still asleep!

I'm in my own little nightmare!
It feels as real as it seems
I'm trapped with all of these frights here
In my dreams!

Below the floors of this horror not much survives
Beneath the cover of shadow the darkness thrives
Beware! The nightmares will feed off your silent screams
Believe in nothing before you, it's just a dream!

I know each answer I find
Is but a trick of the mind
And though my shadow is blind
It's always lurking behind
Yet every danger's designed
To somehow serve to remind
I'm still asleep!

I'm in my own little nightmare!
Doomed to be swallowed up raw
There's no escaping my plight here
In the Maw

Time to restart the nightmare
Back again and again
Trapped in a daydream right where
Now's returning to Then
Where will my nightmares take me
When will I be set free?
What would it take to wake me
From this dream?

Starved and running on empty, but still, I rise
Reborn back into this nightmare of fear and lies!
Though fog of hunger has clouded my weary mind
My will grows stronger than ever with each rewind!

And I will push through the pain
With but my heart and my brain
Until my demons are slain
And no more nightmares remain
I might be sorely insane
But it seems perfectly plain
I'm still asleep!

I'm in my own little nightmare!
A dream I'm doomed to repeat
I'm out of food and I know there's
Naught to eat
I didn't come here to fight fair
To starve and die as you dine
So face your own little nightmare
This is mine!
