I stay awake at night because my demons won't let me rest.
They like to whisper in my ears with dreadful words and the taunting truth.
I don't dare lay down in silence because that's when they're loudest.
I stay up with television to distract myself until my eyelids fall weak.
I don't dare sleep because that's when the demons create the most vivid imagery.
No rest will rid of my demons, they haunt my dreams.

I stay awake at night because my demons won't let me rest.
They like to whisper in my ears with dreadful words and the taunting truth.
I don't dare lay down in silence because that's when they're loudest.
I stay up with television to distract myself until my eyelids fall weak.
I don't dare sleep because that's when the demons create the most vivid imagery.
No rest will rid of my demons, they haunt my dreams.
