"The doctor’s words echoed in my head as I felt myself falling into an abyss. This was not the same dream I’d been reliving for months. I was in a desert with a blood red sky, nothing around me for miles. It was surreal, the most peaceful yet strange place I’d ever been."
Lost once more; inside my mind. I find myself in desert sands, staring at red autumn skies.
Hours recall the painful moments of my past, on a journey through my nightmares I will find
peace at last…
I’ve seen visions of death.
Illusions that the demons let me feed to my mind’s eye.
My dreams mend and shatter the fragments of time,
let now the demon speak to me.
My mind knows not, images illuminate my eyes.
My past I confront, blind to my struggle for freedom.
I twist in the grasp, but I cannot think for myself…
Hold me closer, I fear I’ve fallen into dreams again.
When will this nightmare end?
Mother hear me now, I feel these hands keep dragging me down, but you were not around
the day I marched to die. They showed me something inside.
Now they return again to tell me become fear and awaken.
