The Nightmare Rides On

Am I afraid…no
Not of anything in this conscious world at least

We all know buildings crumble
Cars collide with children inside

Speed kills, tornadoes pull, hurricanes blow
Lightning destroys, fog lights…well, they don’t do much

But when I close my eyes
And let the arms carry me to sleep

I lose all sense of logic and reason
Control is ripped from my hands

And I dream, dream so quietly
Clutching like a baby to her blanket

And all of these things, they still don’t scare
But visions of you still make it hurt

For eyes sores are out of my hands
Whispers of echoes blows into shards

Encompassing and knowing every bone to pinch
And steal the blood from every tone

Dreams are dreams and I pretend to stay hopeful
Reality leads dreams to sought nightmares again

So sharpen your daggers now Medusa
Someone else will one day have a dream for you to destroy

And I know you will be quick to answer
Destroy then seek the next god to adore
