When the night falls
When the silence spreads
When it's time to lay
The demons come out to play
A deep breath, a long sigh
Red eyes and mouth dry
Standing up, turning side to side
But during darkness
They no longer hide (they no longer hide)
Chase them down, they are having fun
Call their name, they will up their game
Push and shove, they will show you love
Make way, they are here to stay
Hide and cover, under pale white sheets
And discover, they are at your feet
Playing catch and some hide and seek
With the shadows, coming from the street
Whisper to them, they will lend an ear
Understand that they are made of fear (they are made of fear)
They may tease you
They will laugh and taunt
You could join them
But it's what they want...
