H olding tight beneath sheets
Scars and bruises seem to disappear
in the darkness

Tears are silent wetness
Melting into pillowcases
in the darkness

My hair is wet with sweat
My hands are shaking
I want to ask for you
But my...
hands are shaking

Sighs and cries lead to sleep
Hands clutched in fists
in the darkness

The day's nightmares fade
Into the night's dreams
in the darkness

My hair is wet with sweat
My hands are shaking
I want to ask for you
But my...
hands are shaking

The monsters come out
From under beds,
Out of closets,
Behind my eyes,
and outta my head.
in the darkness

monsters
in the darkness
shaking
in the darkness
I want to ask for you
in the darkness

My hair is wet with sweat
My hands are shaking
I want to ask for you
But my...
hands are shaking
