This little nightmare comes and goes
Its dark and tainted when it comes it grows
it taints all my dreams it crucifies my night
its hauntingly fast, I'm losing this fight

this creature of dark this son of night
fleeing again at the first sight of dawns light
It holds my terrors and haunts my dreams
But the demons it carries are demons from me

I wallow in your tears as your words rip my heart asunder, soul thrown to the winds I drown in the agony of your love.

I first heard you giggle
and I couldn't hold my smile
Then I heard you laugh
and I sat down for a while
I watched as you spun and danced around the flowers
and treasured every minute and wished that they were hours

Your eyes speak only truth, your smile wide and free
You melt my heart again every time you look at me
your hugs are so sincere when you grab and hold me tight
and I remember what's important, and everything will be alright

The shadows paint my soul inside
and leave this trail for you to see
the darkest story where heroes die
and mortal souls beg to be free
I dance in dreams of joy and mourning
black tears without a care
and live out this dream set before me
midnight whispers in the air
