Time to Hide
Midnight, and the whispers begin
with loud echoes and plans to do harm
from the demons inside of my skin.
Unable to sound the alarm
as the demons all try to escape
with loud echoes and plans to do harm.
Horrid visions of murder and rape
while the doors in my mind open wide
and the demons all try to escape.
Far too many to hold them inside,
I finally give in to their screams
while the doors in my mind open wide.
As the voices tell me their dark dreams,
my resistance is futile at best.
I finally give in to their screams.
Accepting these bitter requests
with a smile and a gleam in my eye,
my resistance is futile at best.
The fell beasts in my mind I let fly
with a smile and a gleam in my eye!
'Tis midnight, and the whispers begin
from the demons inside of my skin.
