Demons of the Night


This is ridiculous  

 
Borderline creepy insidious

 
Try to blind me  

 
Darkness surrounds me 

 
Scream in my ears 

 
Testing my fears 

 
Nice try I'm fearless 

 
My anxieties come when I hear less 

 
White noise blows out my ear drums 

 
Boom bam 

 
Insomnia takes away my freedoms 

 
I pop the pills 

 
I lay awake 

 
Until they take 

 
Write these lyrics down 

 
Take my crown 

 
Close my eyes 

 
And do it all over the next hour later 

 
Take make obliviate 

 
Is that even word 

 
Burn me at the stake 

 
Show up at my wake 

 
I bet u anything I'm not dead 

 
Won't let me sleep why let me die 

 
Watching me suffer let me cry 

 
It's not even the cute kind 

 
It's the ugly as fuck 

 
boogers drip and drop 

 
Can't even breathe kind 

 
It's the kind that don't stop 

 
Hyperventilating like if ima pop 

 
Explode 

 
My brain across the walls 

 
Bullet threw my skull 

 
Leave the blood stains and call it art 

 
They say I'm creative here's my start 

 
Is it tragic to take my heart 

 
Apart 

 
and reverse this madness 

 
Sadness 

 
Transformate 

 
Metamorphatate 

 
Are those even words 

 
Fuck it 

 
I'm tired 

 
It's been weeks since I been hired 

 
Work is dumb school is dumb 

 
Let's get higher 

 
Nah that's dumb too 

 
What's done is done 

 
The end had come 

 
And gone 

 
So now what 
 

What's next 

 
Whose right what's best 

 
Am I wrong 

 
To feel that I've never belonged 

 
In this town 

 
I'm not down 

 
I'm not found 

 
Find me 

 
Free me 

 
See me 

 
I wrote the lyrics 

 
Sang the songs 

 
Said my prayers 

 
Now let me sleep 

 
Bring me meaning 

 
Spare my being 

 
And wake me up when it's all over

<p>wake up. it won&#39;t be over until you fight it. its a wolf that won&#39;t go away until you are truly dead or driven insane. fight it, because it won&#39;t fight itself</p>
