There’s always something that hits too close to home
Another disembodied hand peeling you off your bed
Fingers hooked around your neck
It can’t hurt you but I know what can
Ghostly figures, speak their truth, horrors, you are, subject to, fading, floating, burning, wailing, out the window, see them trailing
Such fervor, it takes, hold of me, chains that rattle, never sleep, in silence, calling, screaming, howling, lives unending, hear the shouting
It’s a shame you’re so uneasy, because the repulsion, it completes me
No words would ever take my breath, table silence commence
Those words can’t describe me, looking for something a bit more uncanny
I think I’ll quit while I’m ahead, better unheard than misread
There’s always something that hits too close to home
Another disembodied voice threatening to beat your ass
And I can laugh at that
Especially given I’d do the same if asked
Static, overwhelms my view, colors, creep in, dullened hues, lurking, crawling, gripping, baiting, for my slip-up they’re awaiting
Voices, that don’t answer me, sharpened words, mental debris, falling, speeding, begging, pleading, the end of senses is proceeding
You should know before you go, I am nothing but a ghoul, I am inside your walls too
You should hear before you’re scared, the Hodag or Sasquatch am I, or other creatures that mystify
You might find rather unkind, my teeth sink into you like veal, I’m a vampire lest I conceal
You just wait before the date, I find a much more powerful form, I am stress and I am storm
