Settled In

Three in the morning you don't need to sleep I'm not tired so you need to wake So you're dry as a bone, there is water right there But good luck with the next drink you take No one is awake, all calm and at peace Each snug safely in their bed Now leave me alone, you can't put me out I've nestled down deep in your head I don't need much sleep, in fact none at all Works out much better for me Why should I relax and give you a chance To work on a deal to be free Just accept the fact there's no where to go I'm here to stay, don't bother to run Your sadness recharges my tormenting ways Refueled by stealing your fun I feel so much better when you feel bad Your pain simply helps me grow I thrive on your spirit, drain it of life Your sadness just helps my blood flow Try as you might, you know I can't leave Inside you, the only place I can live I've been here since birth, not going away Until I've drained you of all you can give A little at a time I've been taking your life Secretely infiltrating your soul Now you've finally figured out what I've been up to But it's to late to get out of that hole The deeper it gets the further you are From anyone who might throw you a rope So as the end draws near there's no need to fight You might as well give up all hope Do you really think you can shut me down Live at peace with me in your life What a joke, where's all your friends You can't even satisfy your wife You get no respect because you don't deserve it What good have you ever done I'm not the one who couldn't pay your bills And others were much better for your sons So push all you want, I won't go anywhere It doesn't matter how hard you try I only get stronger when you act like you're happy And some day I'll be the reason you die
