Darkness Takes The Reins (The Nightmare Continues) Lyrics

I don't want you to see all the darkness in me

Lord, help me. I don't want to be just another refugee in someone else's prison, Lord

Knock me, knock me, knock me, oh Lord. Knock me, knock me, knock me

There is a darkness inside my mind and it's dragging me down

Like a punch to the stomach, take me down to my knees now

I do not know how long it will be

But sooner or later, the darkness takes over me

I know she holds me down and she knows my, my worth

And when the light begins to fade and the pain's too much to take

that's when the darkness takes the reins

The darkness takes the reins

Waking up in strange places, bruises on my faces

How did they get there

So unclear

When I snap, it gets dangerous

I can't control it, I'm scared

I'm so scared

There's an angel on my shoulder, a voice of reasons older

But she doesn't care, she's just waiting there

Meanwhile, the devil's in my mind, buying me two drinks at a time

She's telling me what I want to hear

It's just not fair

It's a part of me now that I don't want to live with

She's part of me, so part of me, please part of me

If I see a distance, but it's for your best interest, trust me

I know she holds me down

And she knows my, my worth

And when the light begins to fade and the pain's too much to take

that's when the darkness takes the reins

The darkness takes the reins

I know she holds me down

And she knows my, my worth

And when the light begins to fade and the pain's too much to take

that's when the nightmare takes the reins

The nightmare takes the reins

There's a storm cloud overhead

My mind is filled with dread

My mind is filled with dread

That's when the darkness takes the reins
