You know when you're just about to go to bed
Then the thoughts come and intrude your head
You dwell and dwell on things you can't change
And hope and hope tomorrow will be a better day

Nighttime is when the demon thrives
He shows off his sharp teeth and comes alive
His eyes are red and piercing
You can feel him lingering

The demon whispers in your ear
So close you can't help but hear
The words are soft but they're poisonous
Disguised as something less of a curse

You think back to the days
When things weren't always the same
And you had somebody to call your own
Someone that meant you couldn't part with your phone

You can't help but miss the bond you shared
No one else will ever get close to there
Although they might try their best
You won't let them touch that heart in your chest

Shattered memories broken like glass
You touch them and your hands cut apart
Red covers you, it drowns you like the sea
It's you not them at least

Your skin burns like a roaring fire
It teases you, convincing you that you need to fulfil that desire
The temptation's a rope around your throat
You're about to capsize along with your boat

You just wanted to sleep
You didn't want to think this deep
Yet here you are again like you're stuck on repeat
You wonder if it would be different if that person you didn't meet
