In the Dark,
invisible monsters haunt me
Hidden in the light,
they wait for my dreams to swallow me
I remember burying them,
I remember locking them in a wooden trunk
But nothing stays in the dark forever,
I know they needed to debunk

I want to run, I want to escape,
but my way has been erased
I'm blind, and that's how I'll stay,
because nobody is here while I am chased

I'm falling,
sinking deep inside myself
Isn't there anyone seeing it?
Tears of dust are covering my shell
I don't want to run anymore,
I'll just keep my tears in a drawer
And face my fears,
while my life seems hollower.
