Demons

You can't cover your ears.
You can't run and hide.
You can't escape the demons when they lurk inside.

Just under the surface they lie.
They feast on your soul...
They haunt your mind.
Leaving you cold.

You know you'll never win...
The demons are to strong...
You don't have to wait too long....
They always are poised for attack.

They raise their evil heads...
Making you miss the monsters under your bed...

But no. They've conquered your mind... 
Taken hostage of your soul. 


You can't cover your ears...
You have NO WHERE to run...
NO WHERE to hide....
You can't escape what you are inside...
