Prince of Darkness
You try to trick
You try to play
But I told you
I won't let you stay.
In my head
You've made a home
Constantly screaming and
Finding space to roam.
Playing on repeat
Every reel I cannot stand
Scenes of trauma, the

"I'm sorry" consumes the air around me
Inevitably I am dead-end bound.
And so I find myself trapped
Your breath searing the back of my ears
Nails scraping these walls to getaway
