The Darkness

After sunset

All your demons have come to life.

They've spilled out from those journal pages.

They've got nothing left behind them.

You see them when you close your eyes.

You see them in the darkness.

They're always with you.

Their voices forever haunt you.

The darkness creeps inside your mind.

The emptiness invades your mind.

This is the life you've always feared.

This is the fate you never asked for.

As you drift off into a restless sleep

The singsong voices call out to you

Pulling you further into darkness

Dragging you farther into the black

The time has come for you to let go

Give in to the silence

give in to the dark
