Come Out to Play

There are dark things out in the night.
Coming out to seek your souls.
Coming out to play.
Prey on the weakness of the human race.
They hide in shadows.
Breathe in the screams.

I can feel my heart breaking
And in its place something dark is beginning to grow.

They ask so much.
They take and take.
Their greedy hands aching to take more.

Can't let it happen anymore.
There's only so much one can give before destroying themselves.

Wear your mask with great pride.
But only when you take it off do the demons really come out to play.

I hear your screams and your cries but they don't do much of anything for me anymore.
You've hurt me so it's time you feel what I felt.
