    You are drawn to chaos,

    You like the screams that don’t let you sleep

    You crave for the chaos 

    That doesn’t let you sleep. 

    You are enchanted by the illusions —

    The illusions that haunt you in daylight

    You are enamoured by the illusion 

    That you see in broad daylight. 

     

    In plain sight like a devil in the dark,

    The shadows know your reality 

    While the light hides the façade 

    That you can see in the dark. 

    You see it, you know it

    And you crave it 

    Yet, you wear new clothes on your rotten skin

    Because I know that you know it. 

     

    You look at chaos with lecherous eyes

    And make love to the demons that don’t let you sleep. 

    Then you pity yourself 

    And drown in it as you weep. 

    You let your illusions guide you;

    The illusions that haunt you in broad daylight. 

    They are the ones that will kill you 

    When you try to sleep at night.
