Fanged feelings of fear filling me as I free fall through the night
Sinking into the ground crumbling into a sea of lightless flame
Tick tock of the clock as it inches ever closer to midnight
Gagged by hopelessness, helpless to the terrors I can\'t tame
At once, the kicking and screaming and struggling stop
Eyes fluttering, quickly then slowly, until they close
Fists unclench, all movement dead, all will drops
Kneeling to the shadows, given into the woes
Stripped of everything but my memories
In black and white, the past flows into my present mind
Eyes slowly open, fingers twitch for the remote
Searching through each channel for a chance to find
The will to stay afloat
In full color, the past floods into my head
The hopes of yesterday serving as the banners for tomorrow
A deep roar shatters through me and tears through the night ahead
A scarlet flame burns its way through the threaded shadows
Fear\'s chain of snakes goes limp as I step forward
From within a cauldron of black nightmares, a golden dream was stirred
Its gentle glow revealing the looming shadows to be mice
Scurrying back to their hole in the ice
I reject and refuse reality, resisting its truth
Choosing to live a lie until it becomes the truth
Choosing to fight until I can dream with open eyes
My fall transforming into a flight towards the open skies
With this momentum, I crash through into tomorrow
Confronting the tribulations of fear and sorrow
I grab a handful of clouds and paint the sky I will fly in
The ink forever drying along the walls of memory
