In my head there are places I avoid Too dark to see and too painful to feel When i'm awake they are numb by my control But when I close my eyes they arise In this deafening silence That pins me down They're the thunder and the storm That throws me to the ground They arrive in the evening Along with the dark Carrying the strength of a thousand And the chaos of one From deep within Where skeleton meets skin And where I put aside All that I deny The fear and anxiety That brings me to my knees You're the thunder and the storm That I could never seize So strike me once again With the claws of fever For you are not my friend You're my closest demon In this definite silence That pins me down You're the thunder and the storm That throws me to the ground So pierce me one last time With your tusk of fever For you are not my friend You're my closest demon
