Mind games
Where do you run
when you can't escape
It's your nightmare
your mind's playing games
Can you cleanse
your skin of blood
that is not there
just a nightmare
How do you stop
the pain, the death
if it's all in your head
as you lay in bed
You know it
was true once
But, why doesn't it stop
Why does it consume you
You did not
crash that car
so why does
it haunt your dreams
Maybe, you're just
an easy target
Or maybe it's
because no one
can hear your
gut wrenching screams
when you can't escape
It's your nightmare
your mind's playing games
Can you cleanse
your skin of blood
that is not there
just a nightmare
How do you stop
the pain, the death
if it's all in your head
as you lay in bed
You know it
was true once
But, why doesn't it stop
Why does it consume you
You did not
crash that car
so why does
it haunt your dreams
Maybe, you're just
an easy target
Or maybe it's
because no one
can hear your
gut wrenching screams
