Erebos

You are the shadow in the corner of our eye

The dark messenger that we all ignore

We try so hard to keep you locked inside

But you break free and come to claim what’s yours

Yours are the fears we can’t admit

Erebos, do we fight you or submit?

You haunt the silence of our endless, restless nights

A phantom wind that chills us to the very core

We face the mirror but avert our sights

Afraid to find the dark we’re looking for

You whisper secrets, ancient and profound

Making us believe that we belong

With every word, you weave us all around

Blurring the lines between what’s right and wrong

Yours are desires we can’t admit

Erebos, do we fight you or submit?

Shadow grows

Going blind

Are they yours?

Are they mine?

All the desires I can’t admit

Erebos, do we fight them or submit?

Do I submit, Erebos?
