Run

run, run, run
i hear the voices calling to me
they tell me "go towards the light"
but its a light thats no where in sight
i'm a prisoner in a world of endless night
the darkness plays tricks on me
caging me in my sorrows
in this world of darkness
i run from the pain 
from the voices in the shadows
from claws that reach and grasp at my soul
run, run, run
running from the demons that hunt me
forever running
i can no longer feel the warmth of light
i can no longer escape to the warm embrace of your world
for the i have been devoured whole by the demons inside
