Dragged into the basement
where the night demons roam
in the darkest of darkness
that you've ever known
no one can hear you
as you silently scream
and the demons reach into
your every last dream
too late now to stop it
Because you've been selected
To live with the black dogs
Who roam undetected
And when the daybreak appears
And you no longer care
The demons retreat back
Into their darkened lair
And your day starts again
but you've so little fight
‘Cos you know before long
Day will turn into night
And again they will call you
Pretending they're kind
But what they really desire
Is to torture your mind
Please fight all you can
Shed those tears if you must
Find a stubborn resistance
That is stronger than lust
Tell the people who care
That your smile isn't real
It's only a mask
for how you really feel
Believe me I know that it's hard
To ask friends for a hand
But if you tell them your worries
They just may understand
That when you say that you're fine
Often inside you're so weak
For the demons are near
Changing your words as you speak
And this vast vicious circle
Upon which the demons depend
Protects them and prevents you
From finding an end
That although it would free you
From all of mankind
You know would destroy
Those you love left behind
