They

He knocks softly
in the back of my mind
i know him well
i know all of his kind

they are the ones
you dream of each night
they tell you its okay
they whisper its alright

they Live off you pain
they crave for your tears
they help to fulfill
your loved ones worst fears

they stay in your mind
and wont let you free
they take all you have
and wont leave you be

they leave tiny gifts
that show you they care
these gifts last forever
to prove they were there

they'll stay with you always
when no one else will
but you must trust them
for that is the deal

you give them your life
they take the pain away
they lead you to believe
its a small price to pay

they're evil little things
they lie and they harm
they lure you in
with sweet little charm

but you still love them
b/c when other things fade
you know in your heart
you'll forever have your blade
