Reality

Like a dark tunnel with no light at the end

A cold dark hand resting on your shoulder

Keeping me from life

Keeping me from truth

With a heavy heart and a heavy bag

Walking the broken road alone

So quiet it’s deafening

No noise to be heard

Keep me awake

For I fear the grasp of sleep

The nightmares are worse than reality

And reality is my escape
