Some say there’s a darkness of the night

That haunts you and leaves only when it wants to

Mommy and daddy try to say that it isn’t true

But she know what she’s seen,

Her eyes don’t lie to her, for the truth is bright

She’s seen vampires, ghosts, and people with three eyes

She’s seen spiders climbing out of walls and bats in the skies

She’s seen zombies, meteors heading for earth

and some things she can’t even describe

It feels like she’s trapped with no way to escape

No matter how much she cries, yells, and screams

for someone to save her who’s wearing a cape

Even when she wakes up and realises it was all just a dream

She still gets chased by the darkness of the night

Because the darkness doesn’t leave when you’re not asleep

It still feels like it haunts her on the days that it doesn’t

that even when it’s gone it’s still somehow there

with her in her head as she begins to decent

into thoughts for which she’d rather not bare

Every night is a game of chance

Win and you’re free, lose and you’re trapped

Most days she loses, but sometimes she wins the fights

So I darkness, I ask of you just one simple thing

Make her heart shine bright, and let her win tonight
