Nychtophobia

Aking up paralyzed
Struggling to break free
Waking up in complete total darkness
A haunting presence fills the room
Chilling feelings in my bones
Screaming & panting
Screaming for someone
Terrors throughout the night
Something out of my control
Something I can not escape
Not on my own
Forced against my own will
Looking into darkness
Scared and all alone
Praying for release
Release

Scared to fall asleep at night
Scared to wake up with no light
Tossing & turning until the daylight
Hallucinations
Obscene imagery
Horrifying scenery
Warm blood splattered on the walls
Amputations
Decapitation
Severed limbs
Severed reality
This is a nightmare
But it feels so real
What is there left to do
What am I supposed to do

Jesus Christ
Crucified
Sacrificed for our lives
Scream his name
Cast away evil lurking close to you
The time has come to speak the words
The time has come for sacrifice
Release me from the straight jacket
Release me from insanity
