The sleep of reason produces monsters so they say

They keep insisting nightly prayers will keep my hell at bay

A trivial list of uselessness to charm my dreams away

The frequency increases, seems to me they're here to stay

Deny the offering, wind through the madness of my mind

Drift into darkness, my consciousness is left behind

Transported in an instant, so lucidly I toe the line

All perceptions, recollections wholly misaligned

Disturbingly unpleasant fever dreams

Rehashing scenes of horror ridden screams

Twisting morbid visions won't relent

Forced to reenact all life's regrets

Hallucinations of epic proportions I am forsaken

They repeat nocturnally, I can't awaken

Retrace the countless stumbled footsteps that I've taken

Each door I break in wrong, each face exaggerated

So taken back, I'm overwhelmed forced to look into myself

What's left of me a tragedy, an open book thrown off the shelf

Ripped open wide torn up inside my thoughts become the lines

The words and phrases drip off the pages right through my fucking grasp

Disturbingly unpleasant fever dreams

Rehashing scenes of horror ridden screams

Twisting morbid visions won't relent

Forced to reenact all life's regrets

I'm fading fast.... I don't know how long I can last

I don't know how long I can last, I'm fading fast

The present and the future fusing with the past

I become the alpha and omega, the first and very last

This mortal vessel cast aside the human shell surpassed

Devoid of feeling I'm stripped of all humanity

No intervention just simply nothing left to be

Then in my absence assumptions spiral rapidly

When someone finally finds me, they'll say I died in my sleep
