In The Night

In The Dark

A fear of the dark, a fear of the night.

A fear of the shadows that lurk down inside.

That sinking gut feeling; the terror inside.

The need to run; the need to escape.

You run from your demons but you cannot escape.

The voices in your head seem so loud.

Your demons take their place.

They hide within your soul.

They pick apart your mind.

They eat away at your heart.

You fear the night; you fear your demons.

You keep running from your past.

You're hiding from your future.

These voices in your head.

Never ceasing, never sleeping.

Your demons seem to grow.

You cannot run from them.

They come in the night.

They come in the dark.
