Does it seem as if I’m dreamin’ ?

Does it seem as if I\'m dreamin\',
When I lay my head at night,
Or can you hear me screamin\',
As I face my biggest fight,

Pictures of the past replayed,
A revolving reel of pain and dread,
An untold war taking place in the shade,
On a field of a pillow where I lay my head,

A relentless battle between good and bad,
With the only outcome guilt,
An endless torment designed for the mad,
A straight jacket for a quilt,

Locked in a darkness where no light has shined,
Regret and anguish with no release,
A blackness deep inside my mind,
A tortuous turmoil with no relief,

So does it seem as if I\'m dreamin\',
When I lay asleep in bed,
Or can you see the demon,
That I fight inside my head..
