Paranoia

Air so thick from paranoia
Sounds from deep inside your head
Hearing things from nowhere
While you're snug inside your bed.

Blackness of night embraces you
Chills go up and down your spine
Screams piercing your inner most being
Yet you mumble "I'm fine."

Demons screaming and clawing inside you
Demons you cannot tame
Though nothing at all is real to you
It's made up all inside your brain.

Your dreams of people once forgotten
Haunt you as you sleep
Their lost spirits cry inside you
You can do nothing as they weep.

Take a look around your world
Everything's the same
Nothing good to save you from
All the painful shame.
