These demons are haunting me
They're nothing I can touch or see
I hear them all the time
Feel them on my mind
Preying on my thoughts and will
My emotions just won't be still
Willing them to go away
Pray they won't stay another day
Know that it's a hopeless wish on stars so bright
Glimmering, glistening in the dark, dark night
Why, oh why, are they still here?
My eyes shed another tear
They hunt me down, won't let me rest
My heart feels heavy in my chest
Please, I beg, tell me why
Another shadow, cast from the sky
Shadows, everywhere, they're all around
Anywhere I turn, up high, and on the ground
Looking, and I find what I seek
The answer to my question, so bleak
So obvious, the reason they're here
I know, the answer is so very clear
Right in front of my face, you see
Because these demons are all; Me
