Another night I'm left to wonder
If I will sleep peacefully
Or if I will go through this pain
Of not knowing what is real
Something I've lived with
For as long as I can remember
Minutes feel like hours and I'm stuck
In this never ending nightmare
I can't see
I can't feel
I can't scream
But I remember everything
This crippling fear that haunts me
Leaves me breathless and paralyzed
In a state of mind where the terror
Never seems to subside
It finds a home inside my head
Makes me feel like I am dead
I keep telling myself
It's only temporary
You can get through this
Time and time again
It doesn't seem to get any easier
But I've grown to embrace this
This crippling fear that surrounds me
I can't wake up
My dreams play pretend
This hell never ends
From every corner of the room
It weighs heavy on my chest
Running out of breath
Like a poison without an antidote
Things may never get better
But in my dreams I've realized
It's not always what it seems
I keep telling myself it's only temporary
It's a lifetime of constant struggle and pain
I keep telling myself it's only temporary
For the night is dark and full of terrors
