Trapped inside the darkness
Comfort within its embrace
Empty inside
No one can get in
No one wants in
No pain from without
No pleasure within
Watch from the depths
Unable to join in
The loneliness sets in
A familiar feeling
The calmness of being alone
The torture of Knowing
There is nothing else
The rush of the possibility
The crash of the reality
Then back to the solitude
Back home
Only a single tear trail on the cheek
Hush
Did you hear that?
Just a scratch, or perhaps a tap
Reminiscent of the Raven's Rap
Hush
There it is a gian
Is this how they say it begins?
The voices seem to be getting nearer
The message they breath seems much clearer
Hush
You must have heard it
Their sweet voices singing from the pit
I want to hear more of their tune.
Pleasure and pain they promise soon.
Hush
I know you hear now
The chorus resounding all around
So many voices speaking to me
Telling me you cannot see
Hush
For now I know
They will only come out when I am alone
And only with your death they preach
Within me they will bring the peace
Following along the dark street
Slipping into the shadows each time you turn my way.
Watching you, studying you, drinking you in.
The game has started
And you don't even know you are playing.
I wait, I watch, I can be patient
Can you feel my cold onyx soul upon you?
Was that a shiver as you glance over your shoulder?
Yes, that's me, behind you and to the left.
Just another nameless face in the crowd.
You may think you remember me,
Perhaps I passed you in a hallway at work.
Perhaps I sat behind you on the bus home.
Perhaps I was the one that held the door open for you at the diner.
You just dismiss me
Again.
And you might have remembered me,
If you weren't so fucking self involved and took notice
Of me, watching your every move, inhaling you
Of me learning your routine by heart.
So don't look so surprised when the final move is played.
When the time you have left can be measured on a watch.
When I look into your eyes at the end and take you in.
When your essance ebbs away and you finally see.
If you had just taken a brief moment
Just a little time from your all so impressive life.
And took noticeOf someone following you along the dark street
