Wake up to darkness Wake up to light What's the real difference Besides one's filled with fright? What lurks in the shadows Nobody knows Does it bite or claw? Am I one of it's foes? Do the monsters leave When the lights come on? Do they stay in the corners? Are they ever really gone? Are they even real Or just in our dreams As we thrash and kick Are they why we scream? Is our greatest fear Our own minds Where we're powerless and weak And cannot hide Where the monsters can get us Without being caught Because they're not the culprit It's all in our thoughts
