they rise

i can't shake the demons, and i can't sleep at night, i can't stop the screaming, and i can't win this fight, it was supposed to end after, five nights of hell, scars too deep will make you change, i'm just surviving in my shell, 'cause there is no going back, to the man i used to be, i will never be safe, and i will never be free, no, there is no going back, to a time before the fear, no matter where i go, i know, the ghosts are all too near, why won't they let me go?, why can't i just move on?, i gave my heart and soul, now everything is gone, in darkness i still see, the light of their eyes, they haunt me like a ghost, and in the night they rise, these shadows in my mind, are creeping deep into my soul, i can't shake the past, it lingers on and demands control, trembling trapped in memories, they flash before my waking eyes, it was just supposed to be a job, but it left me paralyzed, 'cause there is no going back, to the man i used to be, i will never be safe, and i will never be free, 'cause, there is no going back, to a time before the fear, no matter where i go, i know, the ghosts are all too near, why won't they let me go?, why can't i just move on?, i gave my heart and soul, now everything is gone, in darkness i still see, the light of their eyes, they haunt me like a ghost, and in the night they rise, i can't leave them behind, i can't shut the door, i'm not who i was, anymore, in darkness i still see, the light of their eyes, they haunt me like a ghost, and in the night, they rise
