The music sends an aching chill to my stomach
So trancelike
A voice so alone and dark
And emotionless
Telling the facts of a fable
Of a dream
Of a nightmare
It gives me the creeps
I want to understand it
That's the problem
It's so complex
It falls beyond my understanding
Only the voice behind the story
Knows what he's talking about
Completely
I desperately want to understand
Why the words haunt me
Even when the final note has echoed away from existence
Chills still run up and down
Doing their dance on my spine
Why does it make me feel so
Cold and empty inside
Is it the tone, the words, or the music?
Or all of the above?
I play cheerier melodies in
Desperation
Desperation to escape
For the two or three minutes I get
To a world of
Upbeat chords
Happy worlds
And brighter stories
But then there's that pause
The small crevice
Of a couple seconds silence
And the song of nightmares
Creeps its way
Back into my head
It sleeps in my subconscious
It always is there
And leaps at every chance I get
Pressing on my head
To know
To understand
Why I feel so strange
What I feel
And why I want so desperately
To escape it
It's so lost
So empty and monotone
And they're such terrifying words
And I don't know why
Will they haunt my dreams
Will I find my own blissful sleep
Shattered as I toss and turn
Words and images fill my head
That I can't understand
Screaming out as
The crusty walls of my existence
Come crashing around me
Caging me in
Crushing me
For one sole purpose
To know
To just know
They mock me
My empty mystery
To have thing scare me and
Not know why
It's Terrifying
