Chest is rising yeah I’m counting my breaths

Got my demons singing songs in my head
Do Re Mi

Making friends with the monsters underneath my bed
Hoping that they don’t leave me for dead

Now I lay me down to sleep
Hope someone’s watching over me

Living in a nightmare
Is there anybody out there
I’m living in a nightmare

Skeletons in my closet come alive
Haunting me
Dancing with all the shadows in my mind
