still awake

flashbacks keeping me awake
nightmares that i just cant take
scared as hell...cant escape
fucked up shit, that i create

alone i lay helpless in my sleep
pray the lord my soul to keep
feel my fear and hear me weep
reliving the memories that i keep

eyes slow to close, are mine
terrified of what they might find
in the blackness of my mind
peaceful sleep left far behind
