Deep in the shadows I hear a call
Not one voice but three
I see three pairs of eyes
An angel's, a demon's and mine.
I hear all three shouting at me
The angel telling me to go with her
The demon pulling me towards him
And myself teling me to fight for what I want
Then I wake up and notice a scratch on my arm and tears running down my face
I can only ask myself, "What did I do?"
Awake restless, what did I do?
Now I feel trapped in the dark like nothing can save me
I shout for help and notice that no one can hea them.
I need to find myself but, I can't.
Next night I see the same three pair of eyes
I become scared
Then I notice they are all quiet and each have a hand out.
I can feel myself walking towards the demon and see the angel and myself with a sad disappointed look
I sceam and try to get away and run towards the angel.
Next thing I see is myself right by me telling me
"You have too much darkness within you don't try to run this is you."
Now it turns into a demon with malice on it's face
I scream again
They finally catch me
I start to relax
I left myself be drawn in and never coming back.
