Roulette

Once again the darkness falls

And it is time to go to sleep

But my dreams are plagued by sorrow

And violence from which I weep

And so I load the gun again

Will I sleep, and enter a kind reality?

Or will I enter a hell of my own?

Will I dream at all

Or lie awake as the monsters come for me?

Put a single bullet in the gun

And point it at my head

The monsters watch me get in bed

And I know exactly where they are

Something rustles from outside

I pray that it will leave

Footsteps in the hall again?

If God was real, with him I’d plead

I slowly fall into the darkness

And awake into another hell

I am hunted by a beast

By my own hand, my fate befell

Hiding behind a friend's face

A monster finishes me

And I awake to the sound

Of a noise that should not be

When the sun returns once more

I beg my mind to stop

For though school approaches, I cannot

I was just as tired the night before
