My good friend the darkness has betrayed me tonight
The blackness used to blind my sight of all the horrors
That cause me such angst and terror
My demons that fill me with fright

Are here with me now
The thunderous march
of their footsteps on the ground
Their laughter oh so loud
I was almost feeling proud
I had gone so long without them around

Does Death want me or not
When she's standing over me her expression distraught
Looking at her watch singing tick tock tick tock
I can't seem to fathom whether this a lesson I'm being taught
But I just cower under my covers because that's the only strength I've got

The sun has risen once again
Another dreadful night has come to an end
Another dreadful day begins
So I get up and put on my face and adjust my grin
No one will suspect anything is wrong not even my friends

I'm sorry I'm always tired
But I'm up all night while my sanity expires
A mind of my own is all that I desire
l'd like to trade my eyes for new because they are nothing but liars
That's all that I require......
Is that too much to ask?
