​I buried my worries,
Deep within my soul,
Into the depths,
Where I try not to go,
But in the middle of the night,
While I lay in my bed,
They creep from the shadows,
And enter my head,
Dragging me down,
Into their bleakest of places,
Bodies of darkness,
Without any faces,
Caressing my heart,
With an evil leer,
Causing surges of sadness,
Heart-ache and fear,
My demons thrive here,
Trapped in their haunt,
Playing their sick games,
Of torture and taunt,
Get me out of here,
Out of my mind,
Save me from this hell,
And help me to find,
A slither of peace,
An end to the sadness,
Away from this pain,
And all of the madness,
I can come back to the light,
As a new day is born,
My demons are silenced,
At the break of dawn.

​I can feel it coming on again,
And it scares me to death,
I'm struggling to stay afloat,
Fighting for every breath,
The darkness is coming,
It's drowning out the light,
How do I continue to hold on?
Where do I find the strength to fight?

I knew the peace wouldn't last forever,
In truth it never does,
The darkness is forever present,
Like a storm cloud hovering above,
I want to run away,
I can't go through this again,
But I don't even know what I'm running from,
When it's it's coming from within

I try to laugh it off,
Drink my fears away,
Pretend like this isn't happening,
Keep my fears at bay,
But my heart feels like its being consumed,
By doubts, guilt and self-hate,
And every time I try to counter act,
My strength just flows away.
The simplest thing can set me back,
And ruin any progress that I've made,
No matter how far I've come,
This depression I can't evade.

Please set me free,
I really don't think I can survive this time,
I know one day things will seem brighter,
And I'll be just fine,
But the lowest points I experience,
Are to hard for me to deal,
There's simply too much emotion,
For one person to feel,
I wish I could be a person,
Who shakes it off and carries on,
But until that coldness leaves my heart ,
Life simply feels wrong.

I'm standing on the edge now,
Looking now at the depths below,
You may not understand,
But I do hope you know,
That I have tried to fight this,
This isn't me just giving in,
I just cant deal anymore,
With the demons from within.

​Come follow me,
Into the depths of hell,
Where evil lurks,
And demons dwell,
Give me your soul,
You won't need it here,
Let all of your goodness,
Just Disappear,
Give into the darkness,
You know you want to,
Don't try to deny it,
You know that it's true.
Let's explore all the chaos
That you can create,
The terror, the madness,
This is your fate.
Come on now trust me,
It'll be such a thrill,
Feeding on turmoil,
Until you've had your fill.
Just declare me your master,
And I'll show you the way,
You'll never have felt freer,
If you do what I say.
The world is our playground,
We feed on the good,
The lost and the lonely,
The misunderstood,
They feed our fire,
Giving us power,
We get stronger with,
The more souls we devour.
They try to deny it,
But they can sense us there,
Defenceless fools,  
Without any cares,
Trying to keep,
Their fears at bay,
Ignoring the signs,
Such easy prey.
So come now my minions,
Give into me,
Let's get this game going,
And set our dark sides free.

Finish off the bottle,
Regardless of the time,
I don't need to sleep,
I'll just do another line,
I'll skip work tomorrow,
I've got better things to do,
Friends keep on calling,
But I'm not really in the mood,
Alone in my own company,
Just me without my thoughts,
Thinking about my problems,
Is a process I have fought,
I'm in a mode of self-destruction,
But I don't really care,
There are people I can turn to,
But I don't really want to share,
So I'll ignore my problems,
And just go day to day,
I never thought that I,
Would live my life this way,
But here, Right now,
I've got no energy to try,
I'm using all I have,
Trying not to cry,
How long can I go on like this?
Without falling off the edge,
Wanting to want to live,
But wishing I was dead.

— The End —
