Ring, Ring,I hear you calling but I'm in a deep slumber, unaware of the darkness slowly surrounding me
For all I know I could be in a hot desert or a frozen tundra
Riing, Riing,
You're at the foot of my bed, telling me to succumb to you
It's so easy to give in to you, to the darkness around me
It seduces me, teases me, provokes me
Riiing, Riiing
I can feel you calling out to me,
Telling me to let you get closer to me
I can feel my body being drawn to you
Like a moth drawn to a flame its tempting and alluring
Riiiing, Riiiing
I feel my defenses weakening
I'm so tired of fighting, tired of putting up a fight
It's so easy to give in to my monsters who torment me day & night
The ones who pester me, hound me, harass me to my death
I feel it coming closer to me; begging me to answer it
RIIIIIING, RIIIIIING
It's not the first time nor will it be the last
With the last ounce of strength, I beg it to stop
To stop calling, stop torturing me, to stop leaving me voicemails
It surrounds me, and I feel weak
Reminding myself that I'm stronger, better, smarter turns into an everyday chore
The day stretches into years and I feel hopeless
RIIIIIIIIIING, RIIIIIIIIIIING
After everything, you're still here, making me feel lonelier than ever
When will I learn to ignore your cries, your pleas, your claims
It's a tug of a war and my arms are growing weaker
In the mist of everything, I know you'll never have me completely
I'm your anomality, a challenge to you and that's why you fight so hard to get under my skin
So I turn around and fall back to sleep, hoping to drown out the screeches
I know I haven't won the war but I'm one step closer
