I've been having those old dreams The ones years ago that reaped me of my sanity They're the same ones when you'd wake me to hold me You'd be there when I was shaking Tossing and turning When I lacked breathing.. But now, when I dream, it is different But not because you're not there. It is a cold, dark silhouette And I swear, it haunts me. It cascades my bedroom walls and attacks me at my throat Bad omens always stayed away from me, They were always following you. So, what changed? **** Who knows. Now, I shake and quiver I sweat and I cry In the middle of my sleep I scream I scream, I scream, I SCREAM! But, no one hears me. No one holds me. So I stay shaking Tossing and turning I still lack breathing. But one last thing I have left out, That Bible I keep by my head, you know, Pages were ripped out. That silhouette that cascades my bedroom in the middle of the night, That omen.. **** it's your demon. You brought me bad luck. I can't believe I let your demons in. ****

Your Demons
I've been having those old dreams The ones years ago that reaped me of my sanity They're the same ones when you'd wake me to hold me You'd be there when I was shaking Tossing and turning When I lacked breathing.. But now, when I dream, it is different But not because you're not there. It is a cold, dark silhouette And I swear, it haunts me. It cascades my bedroom walls and attacks me at my throat Bad omens always stayed away from me, They were always following you. So, what changed? **** Who knows. Now, I shake and quiver I sweat and I cry In the middle of my sleep I scream I scream, I scream, I SCREAM! But, no one hears me. No one holds me. So I stay shaking Tossing and turning I still lack breathing. But one last thing I have left out, That Bible I keep by my head, you know, Pages were ripped out. That silhouette that cascades my bedroom in the middle of the night, That omen.. **** it's your demon. You brought me bad luck. I can't believe I let your demons in. ****
