From the recording Lived Loved and Lost a Few Times
Lyrics
I lay me down to sleep I already know
Can’t escape from the dark there is nowhere to go
There are demons there are devils there are spirits in my life
They hide in the shadows they come to haunt me every night
So I hide under the covers where I sleep alone
I can’t unsee the things of the things to come
I can’t unhear their screams their cries
I can’t break free of this fear that lies to me that lies to me
I sense those silent footsteps down the hall I hear them come
Creatures of the dark abominations
I’m frozen in the fear I see their bodies bathed in red
It’s those ghastly apparitions masquerading in my head
So I hide under the covers where I sleep alone
I can’t unsee the things of the things to come
I can’t unhear their screams their cries
I can’t break free of this fear that lies to me that lies to me
It’s sinister malevolent this psyche of my mind
I awake in dreams where I run like hell cause hell is all I find
It’s a loosing proposition no one wants to sleep with me
Cause they are just as scared of the dark just as scared as me
But we could both sleep under covers and never sleep alone
We could both unsee the things of the things to come
We could both unhear those screams those cries
We could both break free of this fear that lies to me that still lies to me
