It lurks beneath the skin, just waiting, Just waiting, to begin. Something lurking, Beneath the skin, It lies within, Just waiting, For it’s debut, To scream out loud, And echo in our ears. Don’t believe what you hear, The fakeness in its voice, Tells us not to go near, But our tender curiosity, Takes advantage of our minds, Takes what we know hostage, Conquering our fear, And screaming at us, Go ahead. That thing that lurks, Under our flesh, It holds its breath, Just biding its time, Until, It can infect our minds, And nest in our concerns. A premature burial for our thoughts, Lay well in the morgue, Eternal hopes bid good-bye, To our past personalities, We rust in silence, But the lurking rushes on, Go ahead. It bleeds our trust, And rains our confidence, And soon we stand empty, Under the rain, Possessed by this dark divinity, Empty eyes, Empty mind, Empty sky. It has taken hold of our childhood woes, And fed us with nonsense, They lie in wait, With baited breath, And each dying ember, Wrought its nerves at the door, Just to live and breathe, Under our pores, It lies within, Beneath the skin. However long the night, the dawn will break. |
