The Darkness Penetrates

The stars are too busy,
They dont have the time,
To shine outside windows,
To shine outside mine,
So its only the dark,
Watching over me,
Its only the dark, That I can see,

I cannot fall asleep tonight,
Im afraid to close my eyes,
I dont want to turn out the light,
'Cause in the dark something will catch me by suprise,

As I lay the shadows watch me,
And they scream into my ear,
And this screaming happens nightly,
Its hurting my head, its all I can hear,

Am I slowly going insane?
Is this all actually real?
I honestly cant stand the pain,
The burn of the shadows fingers that I can feel,

I will always dread my bedtime,
Fearing, one day, I wont wake,
Is it real or all in my mind,
I hope its true for my sanitys sake,

But who would really want to believe,
In the things under my bed,
The monsters that I concieve,
Because my friends will think its all inside my head,

But In the back of my mind,
I know that something awaits,
Its intentions are unkind,
And deep inside my head,

The darkness penetrates
