The Dark

I sit in the dark by myself
It's the only place i find comfort
The rest of the world is an evil place
Trying to drag me under

It grasps me tight and pulls at my sleeve
Whispering slowly "You're mine."
It tears at my heart and feeds on my fear
Leaving me all but fine

I turn to the dark to find some peace
It's the only place my monsters rest
They run to the light out in the world
That is where they do their best

They corrupt the innocent
They steal their souls, leaving them with nothing but a carcass
They run away into the unknown
Leaving them empty and heartless

So i stay in my sanctuary beneath the ground
In the dark where the sun never shines
I'm one less victim to the demons
I will always be mine
