My Monsters

Here's a shoutout to all who knew me

All who left me

And bade me goodbye.

Here's to you - the crowds around me

I called you my friends?

You monsters that haunt me.

You follow my nightmares

You stalk in my dreams

I can't get away

Can't you hear my screams?!

Please sun, chase the shadows

And banish my fears

I can't be repressed

Just think of the years:

I was happy and smiling

Reduced now to this

So stop all my crying

I'm sick of this shit.

So I'll walk in the daylight

I'll sleep in the sun

To chase all my sorrows away now -

I'm done.
