Waiting in the Dark

I'm the one who hides in the dark

The one who haunts your dreams,

The one who makes you scream

I'm the one who can't stand your voice,

Can't stand your face

I can't stand to be with you everyday

It'd be so much better if you weren't near

You should go away, very far

Because I'm the one who hides in the dark

I'm the one who thinks of ways to end your life

I hide just beyond your windowsill,

Waiting for you to not move, stay still

Can you count the ways?

I can't count the ways I see you die

I imagine each, through and through

There's so many ways to get through with you

Your voice is so tiring,

I can't wait until you

Stop talking, start screaming

Then stop breathing

I'm enveloped in shadows,

That can't be good

But it's probably better than having to listen to you

I'll walk through your nightmares until

The night you stay asleep forever

It's your fault

All you had to do was

Stop talking
