• the demons
    surround me
    closing me in
    the small corner of my room

    the demons
    sing their sweet songs
    their lullabies
    such a sweet noise

    the demons
    in the dark
    slash my heart

    the bright red liquid
    falls to the floor
    the drops so beautiful

    so fake
    yet so real
    the demons fill my head
    make me feel the pain

    as i sit in the corner alone
    with the demons
    in my head
    as i scream

    no one is there to help
    no one can help
    for only i feel the demons
    for the slashes on my chest
    are not real
    they are only in my mind

    that's only what i can say
    though i see them
    and feel the slashes
    and see the blood
    it's not real
    for i am still here
    and alive
