The Uninvited

Come, come let me in, invite me in, shelter this tired and weary ghost
I’ll ease your fears, I’ll be your mate when all have turned their back on you
Trust, I am your chance, I am your change, I am your choice
I bring relief.

I crawl, I stain the night, paint it a dull shade of white
I creep, run through your blood until your last tears run dry.

Invite the guest, he slips in the waking mind
Welcome the ghost, he’ll bless you with another sleepless night.

Come, come let me play, I’ll make my home
I’ll weave my web inside your veins, inside your brain
Until your heart is just a den of dead faces, of dead failures.

I crawl, I stain the night, paint it a dull shade of white
I creep, run through your blood until your last tears run dry.

Invite the guest, he slips in the waking mind
Welcome the ghost, he’ll bless you with another sleepless night.

I nest in you, the distance grows, I’ll cradle you, will make you safe
The worm uncoils, it gnaws and grows, the words infecting every thought
You’re breathing now, I’ll help you rise, we’ll walk away
My breathing fails, I spiral down, I’ll fade away.

Invite the guest, he slips in the waking mind
Welcome the ghost, he’ll bless you with another sleepless night.
