Every night is the same, toss and turn in your sleep You can run all you like but at night when you dream No escape from the memories, thoughtforms and fiends That hide in plain sight in life's patterns and themes Haunted by traumas you Subconsciously bottle they Run rampant macabre and masked in your brain They wear many faces they Chase you through mazes and Terrorize you in a cruel masquerade Did you really believe you could get over me? Every mistake you make is a reflection of me Try to steer clear of vice, I'm a threat you don't see I'm an impulse hard-coded in your anatomy Half-asleep, one eye open, now you can't relax In that inbetween state, caught in transit, your trapped Psychopomp of subconscious, sleep paralysis racked In my webs of deceit your intuition is wrapped It's so disappointing how you wilt on the vine Seeded fields that were barren like pearls before swine Dodgy progeny of folly, what a waste of my time Should have ended you before you had a chance to survive A widow in wait, Through your window I spy Caustic spite in my fangs Prey to catch you're a fly From my perch I descend With such gossamer steps Quick and silent I stalk Sink my teeth in your neck Sick from my venom, Your heart fear inhibits Your will and resolve They dissolve by the minute Your judgement now clouded Your third eye gone blind I bludgeon your dreams With the book of divine A she-devil warping the verses of god I claim to be pious but I serve Chernobog My whispers bewitching your now fevered mind Every word offers madness, your health in decline Tell me your defenses - I will disable them I know all of your weaknesses, bitch I created them I murdered your god so there's no need to pray to him Give me your fears, I'm their source, I'm reclaiming them You moved out the city and fell off the map, Changed your phone and address but it's just a stopgap Told yourself you weren't damaged but boy that's all cap You can kill your old self but can't outrun your past Doomed to the cycle, stuck living parodies Play out your past and it's frankly embarrassing Scornful acceptance this is where you suppose to be Burn all your bridges as if their our effigies Becoming reclusive, a shut-in that's festering Don't risk putting trust into anyone or anything Board up your windows and lock all your doors Paranoia sets in, there's no way to ignore We will never be proud, you were never enough We told you that we loved you but then you called our bluff You thought you could let go of us as you grew up But that need for acceptance will always catch up Look at your enemies, look at your friends They all wear our colors, there's no use to pretend You think you can leave us but we infect all you know Under every relationship we're buried below It's so disappointing how you wilt on the vine Seeded fields that were barren like pearls before swine Dodgy progeny of folly, what a waste of my time Should have ended you before you had a chance to survive My darling, my pupil, you'll never get rid of me You can still hear my voice when you speak in soliloquy Your sense of rebirth is just mental chicanery No matter how far you run I'm still in your periphery When it comes to significance, there's no comparison I roll in my grave, but it's your dirt that I'm buried in I made you, to think you're above me is arrogant You call me hysterical now claim your inheritance Deadhead the failure, he's aged out of bloom From a bud full of promise to a dud prime to prune Pickled punk aged in brine has gone sour in time A vestigial freak doomed to fail by design Examine the specimen Notice the deficits His mars is suspended And moon is in detriment Not the heir that we wanted to carry our name My spawn, my descendent brings me nothing but shame You moved out the city and you fell off the map Changed your phone and address but it's just a stopgap Told yourself you weren't damaged but boy that's all cap You can kill your old self but can't outrun your past
