They Rise

I can’t shake the demons
And I can’t sleep at night
I can’t stop the screaming
And I can’t win this fight
It was supposed to end after
Five nights of hell
Scars too deep will make you change
I’m just surviving in my shell
'Cause there is no going back to the man I used to be
I will never be safe and I will never be free
No, there is no going back to a time before the fear
No matter where I go, I know the ghosts are all too near
Why won’t they let me go? Why can’t I just move on?
I gave my heart and soul, now everything is gone
In darkness, I still see the light of their eyes
They haunt me like a ghost and in the night, they rise
These shadows in my mind
Are creeping deep into my soul
I can’t shake the past
It lingers on and demands control
Trembling, trapped in memories
They flash before my waking eyes
It was just supposed to be a job
But it left me paralyzed
'Cause there is no going back to the man I used to be
I will never be safe and I will never be free
'Cause there is no going back to a time before the fear
No matter where I go, I know the ghosts are all too near
Why won’t they let me go? Why can’t I just move on?
I gave my heart and soul, now everything is gone
In darkness, I still see the light of their eyes
They haunt me like a ghost and in the night, they rise
I can’t leave them behind, I can’t shut the door
I’m not who I was anymore
In darkness, I still see the light of their eyes
They haunt me like a ghost and in the night, they rise
