Once upon a Nightmare

Hollow hungry heart

You eat feelings for breakfast

Your voracious appetite 

Leaves a world with wounded lovers

                           

What started as a dream 

Is now just a memory 

Not of a better time 

But a fake reality 

 

I don't tremble at the sight of you

You look pretty as ever

The fear creeps in

when I let you near 

 

I see your true reflection 

The amount of sin woven within your soul

Holy hell I hope I wake up

But deeper in love with you I fall

 

Now it's all over 

I'm a shipwreck on shore 

A shattered man 

Who cannot navigate himself to find love once more

 

Too afraid to sleep

Too tired to weep 

Love is supposed to be the greatest thing a man experiences 

I did experience it, once upon a nightmare

This one... wow. It... It's like I'm looking into a mirror of my past.

Yeah I always felt connected to you somehow, through the words and the pain. I can see our wounded souls being friends and helping each other mend our way back into reality again.
