Lurking Shadows
I sense there's something lurking
Out the corner of my eye
But when I turn to take a look
Away it seems to fly
Maybe I am haunted
By a dream that's all but vanished
Perhaps it's by some buried thought
That refuses to stay banished
Maybe it's a memory
I thought I'd slain at best
Escaping from it's prison bonds
It must be laid to rest
I feel that something's surfaced
Like a ghost it must be chased
Can't keep fearing shadows
My demons must be faced
