Heavy
Cold
My swollen eyelids pull apart
Wet
Frozen
I push myself off the ground I lay on
Heavy
Cold
Wet
Frozen
This ground beneath me is lifeless
Lifeless
Unknown
Have I seen this place before?

Void
Pressure
Isolation
The trees surrounding me pierce the fog
Heavy
Haze
The bitter cold stings my tear-filled eyes
Confusion
Unknown
Have I seen this place before?

Heavy
Cold
Confusion
I feel too sedated to panic
Sedated
Sleepy
Silent
Am I alone? Is this hell?
Confusion
My soul knows, my mind wonders

Alert
My instinct intensified
Reflexive
I turn to face him
He steps toward me out of the fog

Alert
Panic
Flight
I fear the faceless distant figure
Panic
Flight
Torment
I must escape him

Torment
Oblivion
I'm not alone, is this hell?
Fear
Sadness
My soul recognizes him
My numb mind has forgotten

Oblivion
I've forgotten
He still haunts me
