When the moon rises
My body sinks
It goes to the bottom of the sea
Where the monsters hide and wait
For their escape
But my barrier is not a cage, it is the darkness

When does the light come to knock on my cell of despair
You ask if it will all come
Is it my turn? Does this end? Can I get help?

No! My cage is darkness
Where the light never shines

I wait in my deep slumber for times and times I don't know
But when it is time, the sun finally shines on me
The cage wasn't inescapable
They were only my demons

Dreams come and go
The darkness was only my immense imagination
The monsters were only my covers soon I crawled away from them
I was free, time to live the fear of days and days to come
I'm waiting for it's worst
