They Come Out at Night Lyrics

I'll let you in on a secret, they come out at night

When I'm not shielded by light

The thoughts break out of my mind

They hold me deep in a rising current of tears

My consternation, my fears

Don't want no one to be near

What if I tore out my heart

And threw it in your face

And made you have a taste

Maybe the horrors inside me would dissipate

Wouldn't that just be great

Maybe then I could change

But heed my warning, don't hold your breath, don't believe

That a new me is up my sleeve

It would take lifetimes to complete

What if I tore out my heart

And threw it in your face

And made you have a taste

What if I tore out my heart

And threw it in your face

And made you have a taste

Maybe then you would start

To understand my pain

The rot inside my brain
