Don't close your Eyes

As darkness falls over the land
Our demons begin to run wild, leaving no one alone
Letting those around us know that the safe places of our minds
Are only safe in the light

Children see them in plain sight
Under the bed or in a closet
Once the lights go out it's time to run free
Wreaking havok on the mind, body and soul

Being awakened out of a dead sleep, tears just wont stop
Something so vivid had to be real
But as reality sets in, the blankets that were on the bed
Are now on the floor

Goose bumps cover every inch of skin
And the fear just sits there
Like a bully that wont quit, it sits there
Leading to another sleepless night

Bring back the sun so safety is restored
Or at least a night without the fear
Who knew closing your eyes could be something
Thats more terrifying than the worst horror flick one couldve thought of

We all have demons out there
Just waiting for the sun to disappear
So they can let fear take over our minds
