Nightmares

Sometimes it's easier living in the world we create for ourselves.

~ Go back to sleep. ~

I'm seeing figments of reality in front of my eyes.

I'm waking up but only living the thoughts in my mind.

I'll sleep walk past all of the events playing out,

Living a life I've become a slave to by now. 

It's just so easy to fall back into these ways. 

It's a craving that comes every year on these days.

It's so tempting to fall back into that sleep, 

But I know I should wake before I get in too deep. 

It's like a nightmare, but I want to see the end. 

It's like a nightmare reoccurring time and time again. 

It's like a nightmare where it's so addicting to be. 

It's like a nightmare, but the end I'll never see. 

I'm accustomed to living in my beautiful disaster. 

I'm happy in this dark world I'm chasing after. 

Even though I can never fully wake from this dream,

I think I'm in control of what's becoming of me. 

It's taking over me like a deep, dark sleep. 

I'm drawn in to tantalizing words I hear speak. 

Being awake seems like a curse we must face. 

So I decide, inside my mind is where I want to stay.  

It's like a nightmare, but I want to see the end. 

It's like a nightmare reoccurring time and time again. 

It's like a nightmare where it's so addicting to be. 

It's like a nightmare, but the end I'll never see. 

This is beautiful. It's where I want to be. 

It's so easy here. It's not reality. 

Even if I'm alive, I'm never fully awake. 

I'd rather face my nightmares, even in the day. 

I've been feeling tired for a very long time now. 

I've been spending awhile with the thoughts in my mind now. 

It's easier in the nightmares where I'm in control definitely. 

Please don't make me go back to reality.
