Darkness closing in

Can hear it knocking on my door
I cover my ears and run
Can't take it anymore
Just wishing it was done

Can feel it creeping up on me
I shiver and try to hide
But I know it can see
It's right there on my side

Can smell it's rotten breath
I close my eyes
Inside there is only death
Out there, I'll roll the dice

Can see it coming to close me in
I am screaming silently
This fight I cannot win
The darkness is consuming me...
