Open my eyes to find out I'm still dreaming.
Gasp in syncopation with the beating of his heart
as the blood gushes out and sprays all over the walls,
quickly turning the stone floor into pools of crimson.
Bare my fangs only to feel the venom dripping down my throat.
Strike once, a second time, each stroke tearing the soul further.
I scream out, but whether it's in fear or anger, I know not.
My scream quickly turns to a whisper as I slither away,
hearing the footsteps above me. I cannot be caught.
Open my eyes to find out I'm awake. Am I?
The feeling of anger remains and I wonder what's happened.
My body is drenched in sweat and I can't decide who I am.
Who am I? Serpent or boy? Good or evil?
I gasp as the vision comes flooding back to me.
I call out, for anyone to stop what I've done to him.
They run to me, they fear me. I see it.
Open my eyes, just to wonder if I'll ever be truly awake.
