the monsters are so kind
as they offer you a life
you take what you can get
and leave your pain behind

better hide behind the curtains
the sun is shining and it burns
they’d see all the dark stains
covering your arms

don’t leave your house
pray they won’t figure out
you’re playing cat and mouse
with the demons beside you

what would they think
they wouldn’t understand
thoughts flow like ink
inside your messed up head

holed up in your room
it’s a world they can’t see
if you didn’t look like doom
they’d let you be
