They creep into your consciousness
And rearrange your dreams,
They banish your self confidence
And blight your thoughts, it seems;
Give birth to insecurities,
They undermine your goals,
They show up in the dead of night
Intent to steal your soul;

These fiends are non selective,
Their targets all fair game -
It doesn't matter who you are
They'll find you just the same;
There is no self protection,
Nowhere to run and hide,
They burrow deep within your mind -
Disintegrate your pride;

These masters of disaster,
We all know who they are -
They live inside the looking glass
And stare back from afar;
Stand strong in your convictions,
Speak out for what is right -
Prepare to slay the dragons
That stalk you in the night.
