The demon's heartbeats

Butterflies

Tear stained eyes

Won't get out of my head

Won't get outta my stomach

Won't get out of my bed 

-

In the darkest of lights I hear heartbeats

In the middle of the night, feel it pounding

In the saddest times, they won't stop sounding

-

They won't stop screeching through my ears

Through my brain

Screeching, screeching through the tears

Through the pain

Picking away at my fears

Now I'm awake

-

The demons heartbeats drive me insane

I don't wanna fall back asleep

I want them to get the literal hell outta my brain

But I also don't want them to leave

I want hell to rain,  and I'm not one to weep

So see if I feel pain, I'm going back to sleep
