Nocturnal Awakening

I'm slowly drifting off to sleep As my troubled thoughts start to creep The weight of the world, it's pressing down Reality blurs, I start to drown The darkness seeps into my mind My true self, I leave behind I'm falling through this endless night Sanity fades, nowhere in sight I'm surrendering to this dream Madness consumes me, takes the lead I'm lost in these haunted visions No escape from my own prison I'm losing touch with what is real Numb to all I used to feel Fractured echoes of my past Memories I can't hold, they never last These voices whispering, taking control I'm trapped inside this twisted role I'm fading further, losing ground My psyche unravels, I'm unbound I keep sinking deeper in my head Among distortions left unsaid I'm letting go, I'm not alone This darker side, it takes the throne In this abyss, I'm unmade Obsessions rule, a masquerade As madness takes its final toll... I fall asleep, it takes control The normal me is laid to rest The troubled one, it knows me best I'm just a shell, a fading light As it emerges from the night I can't resist, I'm not that strong... The takeover has been lifelong I'm surrendering to this dream Madness consumes me, takes the lead I'm lost in these haunted visions No escape from my own prison I'm losing touch with what is real Numb to all I used to feel Fractured echoes of my past Memories I can't hold, they never last These voices whispering, taking control I'm trapped inside this twisted role In the light of day, I'm back to me But I'm not whole, I'm not free The other side, it's always there Waiting for the night, to take the air A duality I can't control Nocturnal awakening takes its toll I am one, but I am two Trying to find a balance, a breakthrough Between the person that I show And the one that comes out when shadows grow I must accept all that I am... To find peace in this nocturnal land
