The Nightmare

I wrote this when I was addicted to methamphetamine.


A butterfly floating, free in the wind
The nightmare still screaming in your head
A love that is timeless, a will they can't bend
Sometimes I think that I might be dead
My freedom they take, I cannot resist
I'm screaming inside "I'll watch you twist!"

Mind and will, together blend
To a strength they cannot see
The hate inside never seems to end
My god, what's happened to me
A womans beauty, a flower's smell
A lovers soul, lost in hell

Deep inside the man still loves
But wanders lost among the trees
If you believe in god above
Help cure this monster please
The voice inside my head controls
As I enter a twilight zone
But all the man inside would like
Is a love to call his own

I wake in the morning and cannot remember
Where I was the night before
I feel so good, I didn't surrender
But why is this blood all over my floor

The man inside is quiet now
He's gone forever, we believe
He slipped away, we don't know how
His mind we cannot retrieve
Our diagnosis is correct
Of that we have no fear

The woman cries " But I love him still"
And the monster sheds a tear
