Night crawler

You hear that?

It’s not the wind…

They’re coming for me again…

⸻

Creepin’ in the shadows, they don’t know my name

Carvin’ pain into my soul, yeah, I live with the flame

Every night’s a nightmare, I don’t dream no more

I see ghosts in the mirror when I close that door

Blood on my hands but it ain’t from them

It’s from fightin’ all these demons that be deep within

Chains on my mind, got me feelin’ like prey

They don’t see what I feel, they just look away

Staring at the ceiling while my heartbeat drops

Voices in my head tell me never to stop

Said I’d never make it, now I’m back from the dead

I walk with the cursed and the words unsaid

⸻

I’m the nightcrawler, draggin’ pain through the mud

A shadow in the silence, soaked in blood

They call me monster, but they made me this

Now I roam the dark where the angels quit

Don’t come lookin’ when the sun goes black

You won’t find nothin’ but a final track

I’m the nightcrawler, eyes like fire

Fuelled by rage and my own desire

⸻

Got a blade in my soul, cut deep, no fear

I don’t cry no more, I just disappear

Bury me in frost, let the wolves all howl

I was never one of you—I’m the lost child now

Yeah, I haunt my past like it haunts me back

Paintin’ love with the blood on a heart gone black

Talkin’ to myself in a voice that cracks

I ain’t scared of death, man, I talk to that

⸻

Whispers in the wind say I’ll never be free

But I laugh with the demons, they just like me

Born in the silence, raised by pain

You can’t kill what’s already insane…

⸻

I’m the nightcrawler, draggin’ pain through the mud

A shadow in the silence, soaked in blood

They call me monster, but they made me this

Now I roam the dark where the angels quit

Don’t come lookin’ when the sun goes black

You won’t find nothin’ but a final track

I’m the nightcrawler, eyes like fire

Fuelled by rage and my own desire

⸻

When the lights go out…

You’ll know I was always there.
