Welcome To My Nightmare
Escaping Inner Demons: Welcome to My Unraveling Nightmare
Lyrics
Count the sheep
Struggling to sleep, attempting to calm the mind
I can't sleep
Continuing difficulty falling asleep
Memories are haunting me
Past experiences haunting the individual
I see faces in my dreams
Seeing familiar faces in dreams
Waking up to my own screams
Waking up startled or distressed
I forget how to breathe
Feeling overwhelmed to the point of forgetting basic functions
It's hard for most to believe
Others find it hard to understand the experience
What it's like to be free
Desiring freedom from past trauma
From bad men who are chasing me
Pursued by dangerous individuals
They cut me up and watch me bleed
Suffering and being observed while in pain
Diagnosed PTSD
Officially diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
I don't know where to go
Feeling lost, unsure of direction
No where else feels like home
No other place feels as comforting as home
Come back to reality
Returning to the real world from a distressing mental state
No one has control over me
Emphasizing personal autonomy and freedom
I feel safe when I'm alone
Feeling secure when alone
Had to learn It on my own
Learning to handle difficulties independently
Wake me up
Desiring to wake up from the distressing experiences
Always scared
Constant fear and anxiety
So shook up
Extremely shaken and disturbed
It's not fair
Feeling that circumstances are unjust
Had enough
Reached a point of having had enough
Say your prayers
Expressing a need for divine intervention or guidance
Welcome to my nightmare
Introducing the listener to the nightmare experience
My nightmare
Reiteration of being within one's own nightmare
My nightmare
Emphasizing personal ownership of the nightmare
Stuck inside
Feeling trapped within a chaotic mental state
A mad fun house
Comparing the mind to a distorted, unsettling amusement park
Of my mind
The mental turmoil is overwhelming and noisy
It's so loud
The mental landscape is filled with unsettling changes
Shifting shapes
Experiencing illusions and falsehoods
It's all fake
Recognizing the unreality of the situation
I have to find my own way out
Seeking a way out of the mental chaos
Tuck me in
Requesting comfort, like being tucked into bed
Beneath the trees
Asking for a calming, natural lullaby
Sing me the song of the leaves
Disliking the night due to its tormenting effect
I hate the night
Feeling tortured by the nighttime experiences
It tortures me
Being captivated by the haunting beauty of moonlight
Hypnotized by the moon light beams
Reiteration of suffering and being observed in pain
They cut me up and watch me bleed
Repetition of the PTSD diagnosis
Diagnosed PTSD
Feeling lost and without a sense of belonging
I don't know where to go
No place other than home feels comforting
No where else feels like home
Returning to reality from a distressing mental state
Come back to reality
Emphasizing personal autonomy and freedom
No one has control over me
Feeling secure when alone
I feel safe when I'm alone
Learning to handle difficulties independently
Had to learn It on my own
Desiring to wake up from the distressing experiences
Wake me up
Continued desire to awaken from the nightmare
Always scared
Continual fear and anxiety
So shook up
Intensified feelings of being shaken and disturbed
It's not fair
Perceiving circumstances as unjust
Had enough
Reached a breaking point, having had enough
Say your prayers
Calling for divine intervention or guidance
Welcome to my nightmare
Reintroducing the listener to the nightmare experience
My nightmare
Reiteration of being within one's own nightmare
My nightmare
Emphasizing personal ownership of the nightmare
My nightmare
Reiterating the individual's ongoing nightmare experience
My nightmare
Emphasizing personal ownership and continuation of the nightmare
