Kikimora

I feel a demon on top of my chest
All i'm asking for is some fucking rest
Just one minute, one hour, one night
To rest and to not have to fight

I feel the shadows when they fade to light
And the days when they pass into night
As I lie here awake full of lust
Dreaming like diamonds desolve into dust

I know why I can't ever sleep at night
There's a demon there with an appetite
Whispering shadows haunt my minds eye
Living nightmare sing haunting lullabies

Should I just give into all of this pain
Or is this a beast I can tame
Not in one minute, one hour, one night
A constant battle that I have to fight

Could I just give in and give up the ghost
Or is that what I fear the most
Leaving this body behind
No afterlife and no other side

Now if I stop from self medicating
And work out why it's so suffocating
I need to stop my heart from it's pacing
And clear my mind of all of it's racing
Now if I stop from self medicating
And work out why it's so suffocating
I need to stop my heart from it's pacing
And clear my mind of all of it's racing

I know why I can't ever sleep at night
There's a demon there with an appetite
Whispering shadows haunt my minds eye
Living nightmare sing haunting lullabies

Now if I stop from self medicating
And work out why it's so suffocating
I need to stop my heart from it's pacing
And clear my mind of all of it's racing
Now if I stop from self medicating
And work out why it's so suffocating
I need to stop my heart from it's pacing
And clear my mind of all of it's racing

I know why I can't ever sleep at night
There's a demon there with an appetite
Whispering shadows haunt my minds eye
Living nightmare sing haunting lullabies
