A Recurring Nightmare
Some nights I dream of an empty home
Nothing from how it was before has changed
I know to expect monsters
so I board up the windows and lock the doors
I find a place to hide
Though I have the tools to fight
Every time I've tried more appear
Then there's the anticipation
A fear that I'll be found and devoured
Nothing from how it was before has changed
I know to expect monsters
so I board up the windows and lock the doors
I find a place to hide
Though I have the tools to fight
Every time I've tried more appear
Then there's the anticipation
A fear that I'll be found and devoured

Drowned
I only saw blue as the water pushed against me
Despair chased me as I struggled to break free
My lungs began to ache
and I think my eyes watered
I woke up with a start
trying to catch my breath
Despair chased me as I struggled to break free
My lungs began to ache
and I think my eyes watered
I woke up with a start
trying to catch my breath

Reminiscing
I've always loved to read
I picked it up to drown everything out
I let my mind wander to new lands
while they revelled in my silence
I've always longed to be a part of something
when I learnt that I was the odd one out
I planned what I would say
once they could finally see me
Now I fear to hold on to the hope
that my world is only temporary
that I'll be perceived
that I am real
I picked it up to drown everything out
I let my mind wander to new lands
while they revelled in my silence
I've always longed to be a part of something
when I learnt that I was the odd one out
I planned what I would say
once they could finally see me
Now I fear to hold on to the hope
that my world is only temporary
that I'll be perceived
that I am real

A fading dream
Sometimes I fear that this is all my life will be
That I'll always be alone since I don't believe anyone would choose me
My only friends are the words I love so much
and the dreams that feel real enough to touch
But no matter how much I don't want to wake
All my dreams will come to an end
That I'll always be alone since I don't believe anyone would choose me
My only friends are the words I love so much
and the dreams that feel real enough to touch
But no matter how much I don't want to wake
All my dreams will come to an end
