Insane

There is an electricity in the air tonight
Storm clouds hover above
A wicked calmness lurks around
Something evil from the spawn of hell to come

The quietness is crazy
Like nothing ever heard
It deafens your eardrums
Without making one sound

The hair on your arms
And the back of your neck
Stands up straight from
Something cold and unseen

Pins and needles
Scratches and bites
Take over your flesh
You can't see why there's no light

Anticipation it rises 
Much to your surprise
You just want to leave this place
You just want to run

Your body it's frozen
You can't move an inch
Your heart you can hear it
BEAT BEAT BEAT BEAT

Now comes the sweating
Your muscles they shake
Trembling uncontrollably
You feel you could faint

Your vision it's tunneling
You start to see little stars
Suddenly it's lights out
You've just hit the floor

You wake up in a strange place
All strapped to the bed
The doctors they come in
They've brought you your meds

Insane is the diagnoses
They say you need rest
But sleeping is when your most valnerable
To your demons within
