Faceless monsters in the dark In every shadow inside my heart The drum of blood and shaky knees These nightmares live to devour me In the moonlight, I lie awake Waiting for the dawn to break But no sunlight ever nears Blocked by forcefields of my fears In a prison of my mind The dark became my friend in time I walk with her and she with me We eat the light so greedily Always hungry, never full I cannot resist the shadows' pull In my lungs and in my bones The inky ghost made herself a home This is how to friend your fear But am I the puppet, or puppeteer?
