Keep the Lights Off

Lights should always stay off
They can do such horrible things

The shine on the blade is irresistible
Mesmerized by its bright glare

It calls to me...speaks my name
It begs to draw blood

Keep the lights off
That shine is gone

Comforting darkness, save my wretched soul
Put me to sleep and set me free

That gleam is too much to handle
Captivated by its dark innocence

It calls to me...hisses my name
Put me away forever

Keep the lights off
Your not safe in that beam

No one may save you
Just like I am damned for eternity

Forget who I am
Stay away from the light

It beckons me forth
It flashes its teeth at me

Commands my mind
Controls my hands

Death drips from it
The blood of my life

It begs to kill
Please keep the lights off
