In The Solace of Nightmares

In the solace of nightmares, of darkness that creeps,
And desolate screams that pierce through the air,
There is safety in pain and troubling sleep,
Where there’s nowhere to hide and no one to care.

Danger is present; there is fear everywhere,
Every step that you take leaves you broken and weak
Yet you keep walking, your senses aware,
In the solace of nightmares, of darkness that creeps.

Blinded and lost like a wandering sheep,
A figure comes past you, then nobody’s there,
All you can hear are the words that you speak,
And desolate screams that pierce through the air.

Your strength can endure all the turmoil you bear,
None can compare, they would lie in a heap,
Under torture, and times that are cruel and unfair,
There is safety in pain and troubling sleep.

Some secrets you share and the others you keep,
Some sides that you hide and the others –lay bare,
Trust is not something that you’ll ever need,
Where there’s nowhere to hide and no one to care.

Situations are often not as they seem,
Aimless you see that you’d better beware,
You cannot stay fixed in the shadows of dreams,
Breathe a deep breath expelling the air,
In the solace of nightmares.
