Pray

(专辑： 12 Days of NerdOut Fan Contest Year 3 - 2018)

I snap out of a dream with another splitting headache
Could this be deja vu or is my entire life faked?
Survival is imperative I scavenge what I can
Gotta make it off the station so I'm sticking to that plan
But I'm always interrupted by a tug on my morality
Do I let these people die or save them from mortality
Either way it's getting hard I'm tryna stay alive
And I know that if I don't keep fighting, I will not survive

The gunshots mimic
The beating of my heart
My mind screams panic
Like the nightmares all alone
My shadows living
Like phantoms in the dark
The final challenge
And I pray I'll make it home

I have to make my way through all these puzzles, find the truth in lies
Thought I could trust my older brother but his ego's oversized
So I'll keep on moving forward heading deep into the fray
If I sharpen all my sense everything will be okay
I equip the Psychoscope to scan the coral, see the truth
But confusion builds up when I hear the voice of Alex Yu
Now I question whether I can trust the guiding of my brother
And see the one behind these tests? Perhaps there is another

The gunshots mimic
The beating of my heart
My mind screams panic
Like the nightmares all alone
My shadows living
Like phantoms in the dark
The final challenge
And I pray I'll make it home

'Cause my parents have a heavy hand in all of this destruction
And I know my crew is dead if they don't follow Dahl's instructions
The fate of this entire station rests upon my choice
Even though he shares my own I don't trust January's voice
But I can't foresake my crew and so I won't destroy this place
And I won't use the escape pod just to bring myself disgrace
So I'll have to use my mind from my people, I won't stray
I guess the only choice become the hunter, not the pray

Morality abandoned, this nightmare was a test
I'll wake up empty-handed, but I'm not like the rest
This man's hand, should I take it? And live a human's life
Or should I squeeze and break it? And kill them to survive...

The gunshots mimic
The beating of my heart
My mind screams panic
Like the nightmares all alone
My shadows living
Like phantoms in the dark
The final challenge
And I pray I'll make it home
