The Clown

I look up from this winding path
 The darkness engulfs me
 eyes burn into my skull
 as I hear the breath close in
 Desperately gripping onto sanity
 as the clown emerges from the shadows
 When the fear is too much to bear
 and your body collapses from the weight
 when the light begins to fade
 look within yourself to see the clown
 you see the clown
 the moonlight reveals his face staring back at me
 I turn and run, I turn and run
 laughing behind me as I flee, footsteps growing closer
 the clown begins his fun, the clown begins his fun
 When the fear is too much to bear
 and your body collapses from the weight
 when the light begins to fade
 look within yourself to see the clown
 monsters are real and ghosts are real too
 they live inside us, and sometimes they win
 monsters are real and ghosts are real too
 they live inside us, and sometimes they win
 Darkness Lives in me
 Darkness Lives in me
 When the fear is too much to bear
 and your body collapses from the weight
 when the light begins to fade
 look within yourself to see the clown
 the clown
 the clown
