Prostration
I feel the thoughts degrade, the vision blur and surroundings fade
Focus
I must remain awake, if awareness slips, I'll let it in
When the noise displaces light and dilutes the time
That's when the darkness calls, scraping its claws
Movement restricted to a flicker of the eye
Petrified under a crushing force of ill
Its tormenting whispers, a hymn of dread
Come to me where it's damp and cold
Where the shadows grow teeth and terror ingests the soul
My persistent threat, a hazy silhouette with words of venom and the scent of death
With a rotted grin and relentless stare
No matter where I go, it's always near
This abscess of the void, it is my parasite of mind
It never lets me go, always lurking out of sight
Immobilized by fear, an oppression that confines
My torment never ends, will I make it through the night?
Now you will be mine until the dawn is here
