She hides away
From the creatures that slipped into her mind
A lucid dream
She could control if only she was asleep
They tell her tales
Of things that she should do for them
And read her mind
Feed on her secrets and fears until they drown in her tears
It's far from a pleasant nightmare
These voices, she can't run away
'Little do they see them fright me'
She wishes she could scream, and spit and spray
She remembers a time
When her head was filled with nothing but her voice
Did she lose her mind
Or were they always hiding in her eyes
She's afraid to dream
They could snatch her from anywhere she goes
And steal her smile
That she glues to her face, while her thoughts; they erase
It's far from a pleasant nightmare
These voices, she can't run away
'Little do they seem them fright me'
She wishes she could scream, and spit and spray
It's another escape
To let the light inside fade out as they laugh
But there's no more that she can say or do when she's
Trapped in a half cracked shell
She knows their names
But will speaking of them bring them closer in
She wouldn't dare
Say anything, in case she falls in deeper
Is it at-all fair?
That some can choose to come and go as they please
But still stay the same
Without something latching onto their skin
It's far from a pleasant nightmare
These voices, she can't run away
'Little do they seem them fright me'
She wishes she could scream, and spit and spray
It's far from a pleasant nightmare
These voices, she can't run away
'Little do they seem them fright me'
She wishes she could scream, and spit and spray
It's far from a pleasant nightmare
