Being decapitated in the street
by a madman in black
being stalked through the alley
by a psychotic butcher
disembowelled,
blood on the ground,
the object of a dead man's fantasy!!
Trapped in the never ending dark
just waiting for death to come
left alone to burn in a house on fire
my neck snapped by my brother
under the knife,
tormented afterlife
the victim of my own insanity!!
is this a dream?
or is it made flesh?
Nobody knows, nobody cares!!
It's real to me
and that hurts much more
must I live in my own worst nightmares...
IN SLEEP!!!
IN SLEEP!!!
Being devoured alive by insects
striped of flesh by wolves
ripped apart by the daemons
hunted in my home, my sanctuary
alone and terrified,
****ing petrified
crying in the dark like a baby!!
Locked in a rusted cage
the bars stained with skin and blood
preserved skulls with eyes aglow
follow me in my dreams
raped mind
one of a kind
a way out just seems so easy!!
is this a dream?
or is it made flesh?
Nobody knows, nobody cares!!
It's real to me
and that hurts much more
I live in my own worst nightmares...
IN SLEEP!!!
IN SLEEP!!!
so we all heard the stories
and we never learnt
just how to play with fire
we still got burnt
I’ve only seen the horrors
in my dreams
that doesn't change
how I feel!!!
here it comes again....
is this a dream?
or is it made flesh?
Nobody knows, nobody cares!!
It's real to me
and that hurts much more
must I live in my own worst nightmares...
IN SLEEP!!!
IN SLEEP!!!
The verses work...I would take away is this a dream and flesh line...it feels like it waters it down. The heavy line is I live in my own worst nightmares. Maybe rewrite the chorus around I live in my own worst nightmares...making it simple because there is so much info in the verses. Let the listener rest a bit in the chorus.
If you are going for Rage against the Machine feel make the chorus tighter and your verses need a bit more rhyme and meter.
In Sleep
