I've seen the monsters crawl from under the bed
They tried to scare me, but I scared them instead
There was already a creature that lived in my head
It calls me Love and goes by the surname of Dread
Down I descend into the frigid wonderland
My mind seems to scream as lonely time stands
The stars shatter as I crawl on my knees
The lunar sparks lust for my heart to bleed
Within seconds I find solitude in void
"Love, you can deny the pain, but it is no decoy."
The moon has faded, the clouds have shaded
Every silver blade of trust that has been evaded
My heart torn, promises worn from Dread's torch
This body cannot support a mind so scorched
These tears can make my memories blur
Like a lullaby, to its voice I am lured
Is this hell on earth or in my tossed head?
My sanity now stranded on a broken ledge
...
Oh Hope, Oh Joy, mend my sorrowful chest
If not, Oh Monsters, please emerge from my bed
If not, Oh Life, please leave me for dead.
For this is not living, but the sure feeling of Dread.
