The price you pay

I made a promise as I burned your picture Your face slowly fading to ashes in the candle light now you see me in your sleep creeping into your most intimate dreams you’ll never get rid of me you wake up panicked drenched in sweat you see shadows in the darkness sleep paralysis Im your demon I warned you when we met I shouldn’t be messed with your betrayal costs you your sanity white padded walls and restraints they all laugh in your face when you tell them what you see but I know you’re not crazy you reap what you sow and you planted the seed then forgot to water the crop now you get what you got the pills don’t help they just make you numb you just sit there all day twiddling your thumbs you hear whispers of my voice as you’re falling asleep you try to scream your apologies it’s too late you’ll never be rid of me
