I stared at the inside of my eyelids
And something stared back
There's a demon in my head
And it won't let me sleep
Awake at three again
It happens every night
They said it's stress
I think it's the demon out for me
Pictures and thoughts tattooed on my brain
Telling me I'm things I hope I'm not
Telling me things that aren't true
Are they true?
It fills my brain cavity with ink
Staining my thoughts and feelings black
Leaving my lights dim and my heart frigid
Making me someone that I don't know
It won't let me sleep
It won't let me eat
It won't let me have friends
It won't let me go out in public
At one point I trusted myself
Now that's a distant dream
Everything I think seems fake
Like someone else had that thought for me
My head is like the night sky
But it's getting cloudy
And the stars are dying fast
They fade and disappear
I've never met this guy before
How did he get in
He seems like me
I'm starting to look like him
If I try to go back to sleep
Maybe I'll wake up somewhere else
Somewhere where I'm happy
Somewhere where I'm alive
Writing is so easy
Words flow from my head and hands
I'm draining the ink
But it fills me back up
It won't let me think
It won't let me feel
It won't let me live
It won't let me breathe
