Eight Years

In stasis
I wait here patiently
The shadows, they pull from the cracks and the seams of my reality

You're my paralysis demon
When I slumber, you lie in wait
And as I begin to drift off, you materialize in that shape

I'm afraid to look in the mirror in the dark
I am terrified of what I'll see
Of someone standing behind me
It's irrational, but I can't shake
The feeling, paranoia
Of what is in the corner

(Making friends, getting cozy with my worst fears)

Making friends, getting cozy with my worst fears
Long forgotten memories resurfacing
And how it ever got so bad, I'll never know
How I got out alive, a miracle
I don't wanna hate you

You're my paralysis demon
When I slumber, you lie in wait
And as I begin to drift off, you materialize in that shape
A question appears in my mind as I realize what's happening to me
Will I wake up one day and not break free?
Will she fully consume me?

I'm afraid to look in the mirror in the dark
I am terrified of what I'll see
Of someone standing behind me
It's irrational, but I can't shake
The feeling, paranoia
Of what is in the corner

In stasis
I wait here patiently
The shadows, they pull from the cracks and the seams of my reality
An impasse between fighting and being fought
Where the crimson blackness is bottled up and never dealt with
It's my fault
