Darkness all around me, Isolated in the black, A monster in the shadows, Eyes staring at my back.
A chill runs down my spine, Fear encompasses me whole, Possession takes me over, And I fight for my soul.
Then I wake up screaming, At all the shadows staring, Begging for forgiveness, But they stare on uncaring.
My shirt is stained with sweat, As I tremble in my bed, Dreaming of being murdered, My thoughts are being shred.
My demons haunt the past, The future and the present, Ghosts screaming in my mind, With words I never meant.
I'm losing my control, My sanity is slipping, The shadows are closing in, And the darkness is dripping.
Laughter from the shadows, As the demons watch me cry, I beg them for my freedom, But they'd rather have me die.
Maybe on the other side, I'll get to rest in peace, Maybe if I really die, The voices will all cease.
That I'll grant them gladly, As I take hold of the gun, Place the barrel to my head, And end all of their fun.
Trigger finger shaking, My fear stops me from shooting, I realise what I'm doing, My thoughts are polluting.
I can't escape my demons, They'll follow me to the grave, There is nothing I can do, There is nothing more they crave.
I lay back down in bed, And return to the dreams, Give myself to the darkness, And surrender to the screams.
