Haunted Nights

Night is closing in Slowly, darkness veils the land Time to be yourself again There is no more need to pretend You play a role most every day You`re forced to be someone you`re not When darkness falls your inner self Will come to surface, boil your blood Anger bottled up all day Will break free to release your soul By the ripples of a primal scream Your two halves will become one whole Demons from beneath your thoughts Will face you when you`re all alone Answers will be found to questions Never asked, but still your own Light is non existent now There`s nothing to confuse your eyes Your senses sharpen, thoughts reach out You feel spirits hover all around You see the lights you never see Your eyes are closed...figures appear You are alone and yet you`re not Midnight`s slowly drawing near A denser darkness covers your eyes Like velvet, deaf to your inner cries An icy chill descends on you You feel the weight of your thousand lies Death would be a welcome guest You open the door to your inner self Eternal slumber a soothing thought How long will your anguish last ? Demons hover all around you Haunting thoughts of your many lies Each day you live behind your mask A little piece of your true self dies A day in this land of the damned Is always followed by a haunted night As the sandman pulls you down into dreamland You fall asleep hearing your demons cry ... Slowly the sun, the monster rises Chasing your true self back to it`s lair Burning away your dreams, your demons Your hollow body walks in it`s glare "Hello my friend" - you smile upon me I smile back though I`m not really there You`ve met my mask and you think you know me I`m hiding behind my empty stare
