King of Dreams

Where have I been
How did I get here
Suddenly I’m overcome with a dark foreboding fear
Put in a trance
My senses blinded
By what mysterious force have I been guided
Recovering from the sedation
Now I know I won’t awaken
I fade to black behind the screams
Taken by the King of Dreams
Lost in a haze
I feel him so near
I am plunged into a cold sea of fallen tears
I’ve lost my will
Succumbed to shadows
Tightening his grip he drags me below
No longer hear the captive’s pleas
All hope is long lost on me
The water silences my screams
Taken by the King of Dreams
Now I’m gone there’s nothing left of me
I have sank into the dark
Dragged into the bowels of the sea
Evicted by the King

Prisoner

The gavel bangs, the door is slammed shut
It is too late I have already sealed my fate
Now I sit and wait in my cold cell
I must pay the price forever in this living hell
I am a prisoner I’m trapped in my own head
There can be no escape until the day I’m dead
Day by day the walls close in
A crushing consequence of my unforgivable sin
Incessant isolation drives me to the brink of sanity
And as I walk that line I fall on the other side
I am a prisoner this cell will be my grave
As I waste away in here I am but time’s slave
Slowly my life evaporates
Five wasted decades all because of my mistakes
As the light approaches they prepare my pyre
But the light is not of heaven it is of hellfire
I am a prisoner death was no release
The pain and torture it will never cease

Stripped Away

As I lay my head down thoughts pour in my mind
All my memories with you but now I’m left behind
Had so much more to say, plans to be fulfilled
But on your dying day all these hopes were killed
Now I’m stuck without you
You were Stripped Away
I just pray to God that the memories remain
The story continues but the pages are all torn
A missing character has left me here alone
I put on my mask and keep the grief inside
Though it’s been a thousand days the pain never subsides
Now I’m stuck without you
You were Stripped Away
I just pray to God that the memories don’t fade
I don’t know if I’m strong enough to carry on
I get the feeling that I’ll fall before long
And I’m just scared to find out what I’m going to do
Going through this life alone, without you

Schism

You were my femme fatale
My greatest hope and biggest downfall
You sucked me in, got under my skin
And I was right when it felt wrong
You took my soul from me and crushed it in your hand
This is too much pain to take for just one simple man
I’m feeling broken
A schism of the soul, I’m torn in two
I’m plagued by all your lies I took as true
I’m drowning in a sea of cold deceit
And though I’m weak alone and lost I will not concede
I see your twisted ploy playing out right in front of me
I say to you what did I do to make you want to bring me to my knees
I will not apologize and now I won’t forget
You took the knife and plunged it in
And now I’m left for dead
I’m feeling broken
A schism of the soul, I’m torn in two
I’m plagued by all your lies I took as true
I’m drowning in a sea of cold deceit
And though I’m weak alone and lost I will not concede
I will not fall I will not falter yet
You’re nothing more than my latest regret
You’ve got me standing, standing on this ledge
But if I’m going I’m bringing you over the edge
I’m feeling broken
A schism of the soul, I’m torn in two
I’m plagued by all your lies I took as true
I’m drowning in a sea of cold deceit
And though I’m weak alone and lost I will not concede
