Welcome to My Nightmare

by Kiera Lordens Welcome to my lair Wouldn't you like to stay? In my care, I'm sure that you would be okay Tell me, if you dare, to dream a little dream There's not much room or time to spare In this endless nightmare They say the heart is the hardest part To heal once a wound is placed When the wound is gone, the soul's still scarred Its memories can never be erased Welcome to my lair Nothing is what it seems I'm drowning in a sea of despair In this endless nightmare How can you go on living without a dream? Now you've come here What is it you hope to find? This is the last place your eyes will ever see There's nowhere to go from here In this endless nightmare The secrets I'm guarding, I'll never tell The waters I'm parting will save me from this hell Oh, I'll go on praying for better days And I'll keep delaying till I'm past this phase In the darkest of shadows, hope's still alive I'll relive this battle until the day I die I am uncertain of where I've been Please don't close the curtain Until I've reached the end This is the story of how my dreams were lost Instead of reaping the benefits I'm paying the cost I had a vision of greatness in my head That is where my dreams lie dead In this endless nightmare They say the heart is the hardest part To heal once a wound is placed When the wound is gone, the soul's still scarred Its memories can never be erased Welcome to my lair Now do you understand? I have no reason more to care This is where your dreams end Now listen to me It seems I've been obsessed Why can't you see the reasons That I'm so depressed? Nothing should matter What's done is done and gone But is there no one who can make things better? I'm waiting for your answer I have a vision I see every night It's not my decision to relive this plight I'm out on a thin ledge, losing my ground A recurring image that always brings me down I will not remain behind these walls But no one is to blame, 'twas I who took the fall Entering this hollow was my choice alone So why should I follow The path that you have shown? They say the heart is the hardest part To heal once a wound is placed When the wound is gone, the soul's still scarred Its memories can never be erased
