As I lay down

Μy thoughts prevail

Without asking

My Shadow

Without asking

My Shadow now gone

They make of me their toy

And call forth Silence

The mistress of nightmares

The one

The one that keeps you from screaming

When demons come

When demons come

They sleep on your chest

Now it’s all real

It’s all real

I feel her next to me

And shut my eyes

To shove her away

But she is still here

And whispers:

“Why are you so upset my child

How can silence hurt you

The demons are yours

The demons are yours I tell you

I am just here to make sure

No-one hears your screams

No-one wants to hear

Your dreadful laments

Tormenting the poor souls

The ones that you killed

In your nightmares

The ones that you killed

In your dreams

”Let me reach for the light”

“I’m not keeping you away”

“Let me grab my knife”

“You are keeping yourself awake”

“Stop tormenting me”

“You are talking to yourself

And it’s not a dream

The lies you tell

That no-one wants

To hear

Of the monster

Under your bed

Aspiring to make you

One of them

No one hears you scream

Why are you so upset my child

You know I could never hurt you

You made the demons yourself

Excuses to be the monster you want to be

And dwell in silence

In eternal silence“
