Sequel: I'm Not Insane ›
Status: COMPLETE :O
Nightmare
When Matt Sanders is brought to a psychiatric hospital, he's not sure what to think - besides the fact that he does not belong there. To make things worse, he shares a room with, in his words, "a complete fucking nutcase".
But as time passes, it soon becomes apparent that that whole place - from the patients, to the doctors, to Matt's roommate - is not at all what it seems.
All in all, it's a fucking nightmare, and he needs to get the hell out.

Now an entry in this awesome contest, as well as this one.

The awesome banner was made by the equally awesome ellievengeance. <3
Basically this entire story came from this video clip. Obviously, some things will no longer match up with the full-version Nightmare video, but hey, it's creative license. My very best friend helped develop the storyline, so some credit goes to her, but actually putting it to words is all my doing.
Finally, there will be some subject matter later on (regarding Jimmy) that may be a little bit touchy, I would like to say now in no way am I trying to be disrespectful. I love him very much, along with all of the guys. foREVer <3

Dragged you down below, down to the devil’s show
To be his guest forever
Hate to twist your mind, but God ain’t on your side
An old acquaintance severed
Flesh is burning, you can smell it in the air
'Cause men like you have such an easy soul to steal
So stand in line while they ink numbers in your head
You’re now a slave until the end of time here
Nothing stops the madness turning, haunting, yearning, pull the trigger
Can’t wake up in sweat, 'cause it ain’t over yet
Still dancin' with your demons
Beyond the will to fight, where all that’s wrong is right
Where hate don’t need a reason
You’ve been lied to just to rape you of your sight
And now they have the nerve to tell you how to feel
So sedated as they medicate your brain
And while you slowly go insane they tell ya
"Given with the best intentions,
Help you with your complications"
You should have known the price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here
No one to call, everybody to fear
Your tragic fate is looking so clear
It’s your fuckin’ nightmare
To be his guest forever
Hate to twist your mind, but God ain’t on your side
An old acquaintance severed
Flesh is burning, you can smell it in the air
'Cause men like you have such an easy soul to steal
So stand in line while they ink numbers in your head
You’re now a slave until the end of time here
Nothing stops the madness turning, haunting, yearning, pull the trigger
Can’t wake up in sweat, 'cause it ain’t over yet
Still dancin' with your demons
Beyond the will to fight, where all that’s wrong is right
Where hate don’t need a reason
You’ve been lied to just to rape you of your sight
And now they have the nerve to tell you how to feel
So sedated as they medicate your brain
And while you slowly go insane they tell ya
"Given with the best intentions,
Help you with your complications"
You should have known the price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here
No one to call, everybody to fear
Your tragic fate is looking so clear
It’s your fuckin’ nightmare
