The Return

They’re back The Demons followed me here I can feel their chilling breath on my neck As if each goosebump were about to explode With raging acid that could leak into my bones Insomnia Effortless attempts to sleep while I’m being watched Light seems to be the only protection They hate light. It makes them shiver The warmth hinders their movements Scattered thoughts leave me with no hope My fingers shake at the idea My fingers never shake. I remember a time when demons didn’t exist A time where sleep was accepted Where thoughts were ignorant They could be grinning in the corner I wouldn’t have noticed These songs keep me sane The beating of the drums keeps my heart at pace It hollows my mind from thoughts Fills it with words of another This cest pool is a dangerous game Its focus, to annihilate all whom cross its path Subliminal messages draw in its followers Competing to claim the prize Death .
