Silent in insanity I hide here
Crouching like a child in the dark
I am by myself but not alone here
For you dwell in the shadows of my heart
Trapped within this nightmare I cannot wake up
For I am not asleep
Never ending midnight I abhor you
Imaginary light my soul must keep
You wait for me to close my eyes
It is you that I despise
The walls are closing in on me
I don't know where to go
Lost within this maze of lies
Where darkness creeps and madness cries
I can only wait for you to find me
Hopeless in anxiety I cry here
Hunted by the demons I conceived
I am so afraid that I will die here
Consumed by that which only I could see
You wait for me to close my eyes
It is you that I despise
The walls are closing in on me
I don't know where to go
Lost within this maze of lies
Where darkness creeps and madness cries
I can only wait for you to find me
I bleed for you and know you're here
Break my bones, feed off my fear
How did this illusion become so real?
Unconsciously I feel the pain
Awake but it begins again
Insomnia's all i have left to keep you at bay
You wait for me to close my eyes
It is you that I despise
The walls are closing in on me
I don't know where to go
Lost within this maze of lies
Where darkness creeps and madness cries
I can only wait for you to find me

- Title: Insomnia
- Artist: Slime and Snails
- Description: This was inspired by possibly the scariest dream I've ever had. I won't go into more detail since I think poetry is better when the meaning can be left to the reader's imagination.
