Demon of the Night

I don't even know where to start
I can't sleep
I am losing sleep
because of a demon of the night

at first I thought she was an angel
but she is a demon
who craves for my soul and sanity
always past midnight

I am asleep
she comes and wakes me up
she lies on my chest
and whispers she's the one
that I am destined to be with her

But I know
that's impossible
as much as I wished
it were true
it's not

she's just a demon
not the real angel
the real angel doesn't want me
doesn't care about me

I repeat this to myself
over and over again
to free myself
from the demon's grasp

And just as when
I thought I succeeded
the demon comes back
to keep my within her grasp

under her spell
I am alone
in my insanity
and within her vanity

her presence
is like a chest
of cursed gold
impossible to reach
by a pirate

I can't sleep anymore
thanks to you
demon of the night
I wish I never met your angel
but it is what it is
