How long until
The weak light will come
I can hear them crawling
If the sun would reappear
It could slowly, slowly make them disappear
Devour my flesh, devour
They come at night
And even though I am awake
Close my eyes
Pretend I'm dead
They come at night, consuming
Try to pass over
Close my eyes
Pretend I'm not there
I know them by name
But if I ever get tempted
To speak out and name them
I will not then make it through
Devour my flesh, devour
At night
Slowly eaten
These wounds
Kept wide open
'Til the night departs
Their venom
Inside this heart
