Placebo Souls

[lap harp solo] [Verse 1] The bad things in the night The things that cause such fright Are nothing but little things Made bigger by our screams We can hold them off All we have to do is scoff [verse 2] You see they are really there They come out of nowhere Once the light of day shines down They pack their bags and leave town In the night they have power The knock, scream and glare [catchy violin solo] [Chorus] They have Placebos for souls Their black hearts are holes Always hungry but never full To the dark they feel the pull In sunlight they hide At night to try again [Verse 3] When the gray days bring you down It’s the monsters trying to drown You are their target, their food They only feed on mood Sorrow is their best supper Suffering is their Upper [Verse4] To sour their meal All you need is laughter's peal Or grim determination Standing firm against their depredation Denying them their snack Keeps you from their attack [catchy violin solo] [Break] Dark of night hides your plight Fight the fear, keep loved ones near Do your best to pass the test Or you will wind up in their nest [Verse 5] For when they have weakened you That is when they strike one, two Take you away into the night None knows how to make it right We don’t know where you go Once at your door, it ends the lore [Verse 6] This is the tale of hearts of holes Villains with vestige souls Stealing you away Before the light of day Be strong within Fight the knocks with a grin [lap harp solo] [Chorus] They have Placebos for souls Their black hearts are holes Always hungry but never full To the dark they feel the pull In sunlight they hide At night to try again [Break] Dark of night hides your plight Fight the fear, keep loved ones near Do your best to pass the test Or you will wind up in their nest [violin solo] [end]
