The dread of death encroaches on my mind
A freezing sweat is dripping down my spine
This prison cell creates a lasting bind
It’s my own consciousness that keeps all hope confined
The moments before sleep haunting a child’s mind
Questions about life, death, parasitic
Digging deeper and deeper still, evoking panic never before known
Anxiety is born
Living in fear this is despair
By my own nature I seek out a savior
Why should I care so deeply?
Should approaching death be so crippling?
For if there's no escaping
My life is mine to live
Controlling my own death
To free me from this hell
When hell is a life that is lived in fear
Too afraid of mortality
This is barely a reality
Never no never again
Should I lose sleep over that which i cannot defeat
Focus my mind; surrender to my ignorance
There's only time; our only value and expense
Haunted nightmare dreams
Keep on gripping tighter with its teeth
Wake me from this dream to find
Death staring back at me
Never no never again
Should I lose sleep over that which i cannot defeat
