Drifting 03:53
At the edge of the world I behold, as I gaze into the sea I see my reflection A projection of my spirit Beckoning me to join him Below the surface I try to resist his call But a wave engulfs and drags me out As I'm lifted, sifted away from sand As I'm drifting, drifting away from land Following the current that rips me away Thrashing helplessly I fade Race to where the water falls There's no place to go but down Close my eyes before I'm gone What lies beyond I'll never know For as I braced to plunge The wind it carried me to the sun As I'm lifted, whisked across the sky Still I'm drifting, drifting up high It brings me face to face With a golden warm embrace Assuring me I will be saved If I should see it rise again But the vision it begins to fade The dream it starts to slip away This sea of stars disintegrates As I fall into the wake Staring at the opposite end Drenched in a sea of regret Trying not to recollect The thoughts that flood right through my head As I lie and contemplate Presented by the same debate Shall I stay to see the sun Or end the night before the dawn

Nightmare 12:05
Awake in a place unknown Forsaken, barren, alone Have I seen this place before It seems familiar Look into the golden mirror Entranced by his cold dead stare Have I seen your face before Are you friend, or are you foe The walls converge I'm on the verge of breaking Claustrophobia sets in Panic seizes the reins Pulsing through my veins It takes control With a stranglehold The walls draw near Pinned against the mirror And suffocating As I'm crushed by the weight But then an icy grip Rips my soul Into his realm Its overwhelming I emerge in a desolate place Immersed in time and space A mist surrounds the way Amidst this endless maze Mindlessly navigate In catatonic state The labyrinth inside my dreams To which I'm bound in sleep Save me Wake me from this nightmare Save me Set me free from my mind Wandering endlessly I wonder incessantly If I can escape the hold The grasp of this timeless world Hopelessly fail in my search Helpless I fall to the earth Sundered by the jaws of defeat Surrendering I lie and weep The seeds of death are sown Consumed by overgrowth Entangled with roots ingrained As one we wilt and wane But then a light appears A beacon to purge my fears The fog that crowds my thoughts It breaks as the clouds part Witness the gaze of the sun Harness the power and run Away from infernal perdition A way to eternal salvation Revived with a second breath Inspired by newfound strength Partaking in a marathon Towards the pantheon But the journey consumes my life So weary of chasing the light I fall to my hands and knees Into sand as Pheidippides Crawling across the land Hauling myself to the end Look up to behold again I'm back at the edge of the world Save me Wake me from this nightmare Save me Set me free The chariot continues to ride The fire approaching the tide As the horizon's infinite plane Rises to extinguish the flame With light, all hope was consumed In darkness the nightmare resumed Abandoned, displaced in the cold Freezing my desperate soul Trapped in a recursive dream Haunted by recurring themes A fate that I cannot prevent His face I'll never forget The sky turned gray as dust Revelation that I must Transcend and escape this land For a chance to live again There's only one way out Of this I have no doubts With all my fears released I dive into the sea Desperately swimming through The boundless ocean blue Left many leagues behind With just one goal in mind The image of golden light Forever burned in my eyes Blinded in search of a cure For the restlessness that I've endured At last to no avail The final ship has sailed Gasping for one last breath I sink into the depths Save me Wake me from this nightmare Save me Set me free

Immobilized 07:08
As I'm possessed by sleep A sense of dread precedes I try to scream but I can't Breathe Cold sweat rolls down my face Limbs frozen, trapped in place Bound by fear I can't Escape Whispers by my bedside As shadows rise along the walls Restrained I lie to watch Enthralled With no one here to save me From my own mental slavery This self dysfunction A disruption of my sanity Immobilized The conscious mind Mesmerized By evil eye Paralyzed The body lies Petrified But still alive But then the ghastly figure Crawls from within the mirror His presence fills the air With fear The shades aghast in terror They cower from his glare He waves a hand and casts them back To their realm Approaching towards me slowly He reaches forward and he Beckons me to join him Once again I've come realize The gesture coincides With a desire to Save me from this life Released from the curse Self control returned I raise myself and Set my gaze upon the world The mark of dawn arrives The eastern star arises A signal of the start to Yet another day But as I feel the rays The light inflicts the pain A realization, conflicted Once again I have just one desire Freedom from this ire No longer trapped In Somnia

Insomnia 06:36
I lay in a place of repose Solar waves crash over my body The fire consumes the night As morning arrives at last The sight of another day Rekindling the pain again The warmth of the golden rays It drags me away from sleep Give me the strength to resurge from this Restlessness that leaves me vanquished Lend me the power to resist from the Suffering sustained by my anguish Give me a mirror so I can perceive the Ghost that I've become Allow me to skew the perspective I Lost in the promise of the rising sun Give me a bottle to swallow and Finally drown off my sorrows Give me a bottle to wash it all Down along with tomorrow Adrift in a sea of dreams Cold waves wash over my body A shadow consumes the light Returning to night again And so ends my final day Releasing the pain at last The warmth of my soul escapes It drags me into the deep
