I shared my words with no one else as I lay down to sleep...

In total darkness, I can't tell the difference between the pain in reality...

and...the dark fantasies and desires that haunt my dreams.

The demons that whisper of power and guiltless massacre in my ears...

Red, red, red as the blood and tears...

Who am I?- am I the person that demons deem to be?

Whisper, whisper, where are you going?

Do you think that they will lift a hand to help you?

Where is their acceptance?- their smiles?

"Just like every other freak, you deserve to die!"

I shiver as the darkness rips through my consciousness;

my life is near to the end-point, to the end-point!

Cold air fills the room, filling the air with screams of felony and doom.

"Where there is conflict, hell usually follows."

Am I going to just give up and sink into my eternal rest.

Whisper, whisper, what do you think of life now that you're choking?

Do you, a naïve little girl that thinks of the best, are sure that they are speaking the truth?!

Their promises are as fake as their smiles.

"Just like every other freak, you deserve to die!"

I cannot ride or hide, this evil is inside my mind...

Where is my peace and my defiance against all your hate?!

These whispers in my head are anything but kind...

The question for me is...is it already too late?

Scream, you stupid little girl!

Your body shall burn as red as the blood that runs in your veins!

For you, the weak, it is already too late-

a person like you wouldn't last a minute in this cold, cold world!

The ice that runs through my veins as the darkness courses through...

DiE, dIe NoW, jUmP oFf ThE eDgE, nEvEr LoOk BaCk!

Where...is...my light- where...is...the...only truth...

I wIlL hAuNt YoU uNtIl YoU cRaCk!

"LALA!!!" I'm falling into madness...

I will fight even though I'm sure I will die...

This is evil, nothing less...

This is my battle within.
