Asleep under the bed

They wake us in the morning

Steal the air from our throat

Making us choke in our lungs

Hit us with the same emotions

Strip us bare from love

Having to face our fears throughout each day

They manipulate our brains

Mixing up the wires

Bathe within our blood

Make us conspire

They follow us on each path

Stalk us through the day and night

Trip us up at any chance

Falling at every fright

They join us in the bath

Where our tears drain

Lurk behind the shadows

Settle in the corners of our brains

They sneak within the sheets

Mutter in our ears

Sit at the end of the bed

Ready to possess

Attack us in our dreams

The only place of peace

They sleep under the bed

But aren’t truly to rest

Only we can do that

If we’re brave

Their the lotion we put on our skin

They sink deep within

Their the food we eat

Digested

Making our organs weep

Their only our demons

We’ve been betrayed by our sins

We all have them

Only you choose if they win
