This had to go somewhere new.

It creeps up in the dead of night
and sinks into your skull.
It sends the chills all down your spine
until the world goes numb.

He leaves you lying, shaking there
to die alone in sleep.
He thinks about your pain and
doesn't shake or cry or weep.

The voices creep into your ears
and shake your brain around,
and when you start to get some sense
there's not another sound.

Your muscles ache, you try to move
but you don't go anywhere.
You strain your voice, you try to scream
but no one seems to care.

The light seeps in and numbs the rest
'til nothing's as it seems,
until your eyes snap open and
you realize it was a dream.
