Dark Waters

Twilight, still not dark
The snow on the ground sheds some light
A silhouette not taller than a child
Appears in the doorway

Too strange to be real, yet too real to be a dream
Immense fear grabs a hold of me
I’m paralyzed, numb and naked
Branches passes me I see treetops beneath me
A floor in grey below me slowly shuts like an iris

(Activity – and all turns black once again)
(Lunacy – my weakness force me to follow)
(Encountering a depth of hate never seen)
(Blood runs cold – I cease exist and my soul is hollow)
(All turns black once again)
(Lunacy – my weakness force me to follow)
(Encountering a depth of hate never seen)
(Blood runs cold – I cease exist and my soul is hollow)

Deprived of all pride
I’ve been stripped of all value
I’m worth nothing here
And I know no one
Deprived of all pride
I’ve been stripped of all value
Worth nothing here
And I know no one

...I am not crazy, it’s just the mind...
...I am not crazy, it’s just the mind...
I am not crazy, it’s just the mind

She stares at me
At least I perceive her as a she
And she speaks to me
...I can hear her...
Her lips doesn’t move
Why can’t I be left alone to live my life in harmony?
The visitors by night make this a living nightmare

Deprived of all pride
I’ve been stripped of all value
Worth nothing here
And I know no one
Deprived of all pride
I’ve been stripped of all value
Worth nothing here
And I know no one

Deprived of all pride
I’ve been stripped of all value
Worth nothing here
And I know no one
Deprived of all pride
I’ve been stripped of all value
On the other side of the dark waters
