Slipping

Terror flies into my soul
As I disintegrate into a strange existence
I'm out of body but I feel you touching me skin
I don't know what you're doing here
You not supposed to be within these walls
But somehow you're here
and I don't like it at all
Because they're beautiful and you are a fear
All those faces outside my nightmares

Somehow you slipped in and appeared
You took all my courage and my peace
And now I am up against the wall
Wishing you'd dissolve
And never have come near.
Would you have never been here
Beside my bed
I would have slept soundly with them all

Night has come at last the party is outside my door
And I have gone to get some rest
Me thinks I see one of my guests beside me
And I welcome their warm hand upon my face as I lay my head down to slumber
Like a child
I touch their hand but it is hard and chaffed
I look up and there you are
Looking down on me

I don't remember inviting you
I don't remember letting you in

Somehow you slipped in and appeared
You took all my courage and my peace
And now I am up against the wall
Wishing you'd dissolve
And never have come near.
Would you have never been here
Beside my bed
I would have slept soundly with them all

You smiled at me with a crooked gaze
You liked that I was so afraid
But now I'm angry and I will do my best
To fight you from getting into my head
I know those faces can't help me at all
They're oblivious to the stranger in these walls
I close my eyes and I open them again
You're gone but you've left me with a new scar
Don't know if I will understand
How you got in and now I'm still all alone

Somehow you slipped in and appeared
You took all my courage and my peace
And now I am up against the wall
Wishing you'd dissolve
And never have come near.
Would you have never been here
Beside my bed
I would have slept soundly with them all.
