"Bad Dreams"

Darkness comes when no ones watching When everyone’s asleep When I’m the only one awake And no one else can hear I wish that I could run on fear And never have to sleep I’d have the most wonderful life My problems would be none I hate to sleep, I dread it still I never know what’s coming It’s a surprise I never want The dreams I’ll have that night Helpless against my dreams I wish you weren’t asleep I wish I weren’t alone In this land of bad things There’s no escape from the inside I can’t even save myself I’m trapped in the land of bad things Until morning brings peace Once I wake I stay that way Not caring what the day will bring No amount of energy is worth Going back there after having escaped another time
