Asleep
Break-ups from a metaphorical, gothic point of view...

Ever since you left, they are all I see
Millions and millions of them - every one haunting me
For some reason, I know you are to blame
'Cause just as soon as you left is when they all came

Your spectral chanting no doubt has led them here
Demonic armies on the move, and I begin to fear
I'll be caught at night all alone, and then
I'll only discover that I'm not asleep again

I can feel them approach
As I fall in too deep
Swarming and invading me
As I fall asleep

Angry demons all around
Vengeful sounds
Coming from the tips of their bloody mouths
Monsters with huge appetites
For a bite
Their dripping teeth will gladly wait all night

Glooming tales are told of how you were saved that day
And of the ultimate unholy price that you now must pay
Tell me, was it worth it? What all do you have left?
Wait in the shadows for the day they call you on your debt

So did you obtain your hell-sent goal
Worthy of the cost of your eternal soul?
And what of the love we had so long ago?
Now twisted and corrupt, but for what I don't know

I can feel them approach
As I fall in too deep
Swarming and invading me
As I fall asleep

Creatures born of all man's sins
Now awaken
More and more you create to hunt me down again
The Man himself, garbed in red
Fills with dread
His victims, ne'er relinquishing, until they're dead

The lines between the gates of hell and reality's door
Really only seem a blur to you anymore
Your bone-chill touch was once your warm, inviting hand
Deep urges lie within you now, satisfiable by no mortal man

What possible reason could you have for being this way?
Come on, girl! Speak up and defend yourself! What have you got to say?!
They no longer have hold over me, but discover
Much to my dismay, I'm not asleep anymore

Evil at my back, demons at my door
Wake up sweaty and screaming just to find
I'm not dreaming anymore
