like a moth drawn to flame, it comes for you

in the middle of the night alone in your room

screaming and crying and trying to be heard

it tells you you're nothing without saying a word

feeds on your mind, feeds on your skin

its hands feel so cold as it tries to get in



you can't scream, you can't hide

you can't run to the other side

you can't feel, you can't cry

you can't run, you are paralyzed



take it away

I want you to take it away

I fear it so..



and you can't take a breath: it's crushing you

feel a hand reaching in, and what can you do?

screaming and crying and trying to be heard

trying to fight it but you can't say a word

it rips at your mind, tears at your soul

afraid that you're losing and you'll never be whole



you can't scream, you can't hide

you can't run to the other side

you can't feel, you can't cry

you can't run, you are paralyzed



take it away

I want you to take it away

I fear it so..
