Nightmare

A brief window showing the darker side of me.

I have been running now for quite some time
But the hands on the clock have tightened their grip
They set me down before this Demon that's mine
Putting a chisel up to my armor, he starts to chip

This mask of stone he tears away from my face
Now he can read everything that I have hidden
I kick and scream, trying to get out of this place
There's nowhere else to run, it's going to happen

For so long I have been able to keep him at bay
I start to remember other times he caught up to me
With the help of others I was able to push him away
All alone now I have no choice and am at his mercy

Cutting into me now he pulls me back to reality
My hands are free but I can't do anything with them
He reaches into every incision, smiling slightly
Putting me in this kind of pain excites him

I feel the rage burning a hole right through my chest
A light pours from my insides and he drops his blade
I can hear a noise and it is one that I do so detest
My alarm clock awakens me and I'm in my bed unmade
