In the Dark

Laid down on the floor in filth
Let me see your fingers
I don’t bite, I’m frozen tight
I’m the one the one who kisses you goodnight
Laid down on the floor in filth
I can hear you sleeping
Short of breath you’re so very still
I wonder what you’re dreaming
Drowning in an abstract sea
Falling endlessly down
Or a nightmare of you and me
Are you scared of me now?
Way down
In the darkness
I’m the one who has been clawing
In the life of a monster in the dark
Buried deep and scared of you
Burdened by his mighty tooth and jagged claw
Buried deep and scared of you
