Overpowered

It’s every night, behind her eyes
Every time someone lies
The demons she sees make her run
Far away from everyone
Her screams haunt your most innocent dreams
But her dreams are the ones to blossom into screams

Uncontrollable fear, running through her veins
All this hysteria, causes endless pain

What to do? What to say?
When evil starts spreading strays?
Riding in a panic-provoking riot
A killer on the loose, a plane without a pilot
Eyes widened to the brim of mere sanity
Where the hell is humanity?

Frozen on the spot, watching souls divide
From all this hysteria, you can’t hide

Bloody stories told by an unknown man
By the look in his eyes, I can tell he’s a big fan
He’s got a horror book in his hand
I think I’m slowly starting to understand
A chuckle breaks loose as he creeps toward the end
It’s as if I can see the darkness descend

It’s not a surprise when a laugh envelopes the area
Because the world’s been overtaken by hysteria.
