The Darkness Penetrates, by BurnsLikeAThousandScars Subscribe to rss feed for <b>BurnsLikeAThousandScars</b>♥

I cannot fall asleep tonight,
Im afraid to close my eyes,
I dont want to turn out the light,
'Cause in the dark something will catch me by suprise,

As I lay the shadows watch me,
And they scream into my ear,
And this screaming happens nightly,
Its hurting my head, its all I can hear,

Am I slowly going insane?
Is this all actually real?
I honestly cant stand the pain,
The burn of the shadows fingers that I can feel,

I will always dread my bedtime,
Fearing, one day, I wont wake,
Is it real or all in my mind,
I hope its true for my sanitys sake,

But who would really want to believe,
In the things under my bed,
The monsters that I concieve,
Because my friends will think its all inside my head,

But In the back of my mind,
I know that something awaits,
Its intentions are unkind,
And deep inside my head,

The darkness penetrates.
