Lyrics
They say I'm a moody child
Quiet & withdrawn
They say I shy away from people
And don't mix with the other eight year olds

But I've got a secret
That they wouldn't understand
And I don't think they'd believe me
They'd just say I was afraid of the dark

So I hold on to the sunlight as long as I can
And I can see the castles and the angels behind the playground walls
And I don't care if they think I'm strange
I must have magic powers
If I see things they cannot see

There's a demon in my bedroom
He only comes out at night
I say goodnight to my mother
And I know he will be waiting

The light goes out, and he touches me
I feel like I've curled up & died inside
I'm afraid to tell my mother
'cos he'll take my family away

So I hold on to the sunlight as long as I can
And I can see the castles and the angels behind the playground walls
And I don't care if they think I'm strange
I must have magic powers
If I see things they cannot see

One day I killed him
I stabbed him through the heart
I remember watching him dying
Or was I only dreaming?

Sometimes, if someone touches me
I feel like I've curled up & died inside
I'm still afraid of the darkness
And the demon is in my dreams

So I hold on to the sunlight as long as I can
And I can see the castles and the angels behind the playground walls
And I don't care if you think I'm strange
I must have magic powers
If I see things you cannot see

Spooky
...and dark, one of my favorite combinations. You have a great contrast between your sweet sounding vocals and dark lyrics. The guitar is nice and delicate.

The sound quality is pretty bad. There is considerable hiss and the overall volume is low. Also, watch your P%u2019s, they tend pop pretty loudly. This has a lot of potential, though. I%u2019d spend some time and some money researching recording techniques and microphones. This song is definitely worth it!

yikes!
You have a unique and delightful ear for melody, and a very good and listenable voice. I agree with Sloto, that the sound quality is so-so (sounds like you originally recorded this on cassette tape?) But the lyrics are painfully disturbing as I read between the lines, the dark shadows they continue to paint across your bedroom at night gives me angry chills. Nice guitar playing too, but again, better recording so it wasn't so boomy would make this even more breathtaking... not sure if you can or want to revisit and attempt it though.
ttfn,
