The Darkness Penetrates

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.
