Monsters In My Head

[Lightning]

You say I can't last one day in reality
I say you wouldn't survive one night in mine
Don't wonder about my sanity
Be aware
Of my little black-eyed monsters
They don't care
The don't mind hurting you
Dragging you down to nowhere
To the place where I belong
Where all what's left is gone
Lost in darkness
Out of consciousness
Hidden, unseen, unheard
No one can safe you here
From the black-eyed monsters in my head
They can smell your fear
Rising amongst the dead
But don't be afraid
You can't hide
Let's play this game together my dear
You can't escape. There no way out of here
Their claws scratch over my skin
Release the pressure, release the rage within
And you run, terrified, horrified
And the pain rushes through my head
Rivers of blood washed away by the rain
Oh beautiful, sparkling red
Laughing, screaming, who's to blame?
Don't turn around, lost in your way
Pretty, pretty monsters...
Please, sing me to sleep
I wanna get lost in your raptured voices
Lead down in the deep
In the darkness where I belong
Where all what's left is gone
No one's there to safe you now
Just the cold raw me
Filled with desire, power and rage
Hidden in the shadows I'm only me
Unchained, released from my cage
There's no place for you to hide
I'm the black hole right behind
Unwanted, displaced and indestructible
The sun shines down to warm my soul
I lay down my head on the fluffy fur of my monsters
Their lovely caring fills the hole
Leave the numbness for a while behind
Don't dare telling me what to do
You don't know me, I'm not you
My head is a place I can't show you
My monsters don't like strangers
I can feel them waiting behind my eyes
Watching you, laughing about your lies
I'm aware that we'll die together one day
And I'm not afraid of dying
But I'm afraid of what happen when I fail
Someday there will be no more crying
Everything is gonna be perfect
And imagine death
No people, no noise
Just a peaceful dark world
Can you hear their breath?
See their glancing eyes in the dark?
Feel the touch of raptured death
Forgotten call of transcendence
Memories of origin violence
In deadly claws on your skin
Do you really know what lies within?
What's hiding under your bed
Soundless creeping up behind you
Black-eyed monsters off my head.
