There's a strange noise outside

That haunts my hazy dreams

Walking through a barren land

As I wait for the next slight of hand

To lead me into the next mystery

As the last slowly fades

A piercing scream shatters the mirrored lake

A thousand falling pieces surrounding my plummet

Falling farther into the abyss

The bottom is near

Awakening my greatest fear

Crumpling against the sidewalk

Open mouths and widened eyes at the horror

Insane laughter envelopes the darkened city

Awaken
