In the Shadows
Listen to the sounds of the night.
Someone or something calls for me.
I know it loves me,
but I don't trust its voice.
Listen to the cries of the lies.
What can you hear?
I know its rather hypnotizing,
but why invite it my way?
Do you hear the noise of death?
Do you sense its plea?
I can't help you with this destress.
Nothing is clear in the end.
My monsters, the demons.
they hide under my bed,
or maybe it's just in my head.
Who knows if its real or just a dream?
It doesn't even matter anymore.
So love the silence a little longer,
cause the screams will haunt us more.
