Escaping
Eyelids like anvils
Sinking my eyes deep
Darkness growing as time passes by
And I can feel my body getting heavier as it
Drowns in fatigue
Half dreams projected into my reality
Forced to watch the world slumber
While I sit awake
In the absence of light
Demons terrorize this world
And I am the only one who can see them
Exhaustion has given me sight
My third eye awakened
But my mind is vacant
All of its inhabitants vacationing in this realm
And I just want to collect my thoughts
And fall asleep
But my thoughts have collected me
Imprisoned me in this state of paralysis
And it's not that I can't move
It's more that I don't want to
My motivation has been stolen
By the golems that hold me hostage
Gargoyles gallivanting
Grotesque gods
Grown in genius
A tortured mind released
And now they're given freedom
I do not have control
But control is what I seek
My freedom can only be bought
By the relinquishment of theirs
So I stare into the haunted hour
Plotting my escape from insanity
