Personal Demons

I’m wide awake and now I see
This realm of nightmares is no dream
It is my truth, my reality
And nothing here is what it seems

I close my eyes, try to slip away
Try to forget about all of this pain
But my demons, they love to play
They ricochet throughout my brain

There is no peace, there is no rest
A constant war inside my head
I fight them off, I try my best
But they won’t quit until I’m dead

So I give them what they want
Take away the body they haunt
No more nightmares, I’m finally free
And my demons will die with me
