Hear those demons inside my head
Have you heard what they have said?
See those unnerving pitch black eyes
Can you hear their painful cries?
See those monsters beneath my bed
Do you hear the lies they spread?
Painful truths, beautiful lies
Do you hear their nasty sighs?
Fear the devil controlling me
Please go, I’ll count to three
It feels like a repulsive dream
Hear my ghastly, horrid scream
Fabrications of a monster;
You’re a freak, an imposter
I won’t fall to your temptations
That’s it, my hallucinations.
