I stand on the edge of reality
fearing the world beyond sleep
where nightmares run rampant
and dreams seem to be lost

I am here just a step from wakefulness
here where the fears lie in ambush
for the moment that I close my eyes
when the world fades away to darkness

I fear what lies there in the deep
where the dreams fall away
leaving only that which lies
deadly in the depths of my soul.

Trapped in a place where angels don't sing
Where even the damned don't venture
a place so cold that winter shatters
the depths of my own troubled mind.

exhaustion has finally settled in
I have no choice but then to drift
close my eyes to embrace the destiny
face my own demons as they devour my soul.
