Under The Bed

[Intro: AfroLegacy]
Every time I close my eyes, I see the prize they're winning
My dreams, my hopes, all shattered, in the back the shadows grinning
The lines that dried reside in time, a stain since the beginning
I've lied, I've cried, I've kept inside the monster that's still living

[Chorus: Knight of Breath]
Running in my head each night
I've been fighting in the darkest times
And the path that you walk leaves you blind
Leaves you blind to the pain that you leave behind
Running in my head each night
And the monsters creeping into sight
Out from under the bed, and I wonder who's next
But I know that I'm losing time

[Verse 1: AfroLegacy]
Tight in my chest
Thoughts that are swirling, I've ran out of breath, not doing my best
Fighting off death
Feel them observing, can't deal with this stress, the beats in my head
Repeated offense
I've been sick of the damage they cause, another encore
Sleep ain't a thing when your room is a war
Same tomb as before, like what is in store?
'Cause nobody sees the shit I do
I scream for help, just man up, now I'm the one they might remove
Now I'm the one to hide the truth 'cause talking doesn't do me justice
Repeat, repeat, repeat - a hated cycle, my terrors love it
And I can't find the time to sort my problems
Every night I dream of freedom, life or death, whatever solves them
Every night I dream of them, friends that just hate me
In the end, they just cage me, play pretend until I'm pushing daisies
Madness, 'cause when I think a bit, I deserve it
Burden with my presence, don't get up, lie down 'cause you ain't worth it
Set up, life a set up, and a peaceful night? You ain't earned it
Pent up, rage is pent up, biting back at life, my life? I curse it

[Chorus: Knight of Breath]
Running in my head each night
I've been fighting in the darkest times
And the path that you walk leaves you blind
Leaves you blind to the pain that you leave behind
Running in my head each night
And the monsters creeping into sight
Out from under the bed, and I wonder who's next
But I know that I'm losing time

[Verse 2: AfroLegacy]
6am - the nightmares cease, 6am - I found my peace
6am - I'm forced to face the people live without much sleep
6am the breaking point, but get up, so I don't retreat
Into the depths of one's self, yes, 6am is my release
Trust that I'm not OK
A cloud above my head from what I've witnessed, and I must obey
The tears no longer fall, yet the past once can not vanish
You can't put me back together, but don't worry 'cause I'll manage, right?

[Chorus: Knight of Breath]
Running in my head each night
I've been fighting in the darkest times
And the path that you walk leaves you blind
Leaves you blind to the pain that you leave behind
Running in my head each night
And the monsters creeping into sight
Out from under the bed, and I wonder who's next
But I know that I'm losing time
