In My Mind by Emily Merrell Lyrics

Fear of quiet, empty dark in my mind
Friendly lights, a distance spark, always shine
Slowly, softly, things appear in my mind
Always gathering, creeping near—close behind

The voices, in whispers, weave and spin familiar songs in my ears
The melody calls me gently, sweetly
There’s no use pretending I don’t hear the haunting sound of my name
The echo grows louder as they come for what they claim

As they come for . .
Me with blankets of shimmering mist hiding memories that blur and twist
I can’t fight what I’ll never win, or run from nightmares that lurk within
In my mind
