A little on the metal side of the progressive rock spectrum.
This is the second song I've written about a recurring nightmare I've had for years. Every one is different, but it's always in the same house. I've never seen the house in reality.
Forever we've watched you in your sleep
Dragged you into the under...so deep
Worry not, these are not your eyes...they're mine
Choke me awake, bring me back to the world
Tear my eyes open so I can see reality
Fading in and out, awake in a nightmare
Scratching sounds from the ground, hallways to nowhere
Something stirs in the afterbirth
Slithering closer...I can't look away
Beat me awake, bring me back to the world
Rip my eyes open so I can see reality
Built of stone and earth and bone, this house of terror is no home
Waiting for the break of day, I hide and wait and count the hours away
Crawling over broken glass, I pray this time will be the last
By the time I reach the door, they grab me...pull me back for more
