The monster under my bed
Knows I'm afraid
The sullen skeletons in my closet
Can sense as the knife slices into my chains

As I fly into the open skies
A hailstorm latches this empty soul
Back to the underworld
For the rest of my life

I've spent my days and nights with this foe
In the rain, it is the only home
In the sun, it is all I've ever known
The naked reflection is no more

I'm lost beyond words
The ghosts know
You can't bring me back to life
But you may try
