Dark Side

 I see you trying to find the switch.
Like it's going to answer all your problems.
Fearing what you cannot see.
Justice is blind.
There will be no rest tonight.
I am not your boogie man
or the monster in your closet.
Mommy's not here to kiss it and make it better.
There is no way to get the stains out
from all your dirty laundry.
Don't try to be all big and bad
when you get left hung out to dry.
Pretending that you are not scared,
that you are ready to take on all the inmates in your heart.
The sounds of pain and pleasure
from underneath the bed
know no remorse.
A familiar passion that got you off
now makes you a saint.
You can cover up your head
or play dead for all I care...
'Cause there is no escaping me now.
I am standing here in the light.
Where the truth can't set you free.
It is time to go home.
As I flip the switch!
