i’m afraid something's watching
i’m afraid it’s inside
i’m afraid i’m just crazy
i’m worried it might be him
she’s dreaming of demons
she’s wearing her cross
hear them laugh in the attic
as she's praying to god
there’s a tightness in my chest
and a flash of light in my eyes
i sit down slow and breath in slowly
keep these eyes open wide
i see a a few clouds floating
inside a dark grey sky
rain is pouring on this morning
got me feeling alive
i feel every last one of my organs
all my insides
how quickly all of them could go
and i how i could die
vulnerable and yet so vital
how does anyone survive?
no i don’t understand
and i don’t know why
visions of my father
with worms in his mouth
he says, "you think you’re better
but you shouldn’t be proud.
just swollen yet fading
unable to cry,
alone like you should be
that’s how you die.
because we all get the same thing
no home in the clouds
no loved ones to help you
are you getting it now?
just swollen and fading
unable to cry
alone like you should be
that’s how you die"
that's how you die?
