Asylum -Dark Write

I'm not ashamed 
Not today 
to say that I've walked astray 
From a life paved in pain 
Empty halls filled with screams 
Veins that bleed like forest creeks 
The wood floor creaks 
Knifes and the bleach 
The demons screaming in me 
Wanting release 
Something horrific like you've never seen 
My shadow even runs from me 
Come back let's play I need to squeeze 
The last breath from you 
You will ever breathe 
The darkness inside me 
It just wants to love somebody
