Strange How I can feel trapped in a room with so many exits Overwhelming As the air escapes my lungs The sound of the thunder masking the footsteps Of potential stalkers in my home It's frightening to think of what is out there To think I'm not alone The paranoia has set in My neck is stiff from looking over my shoulder every minute Set me ablaze and extinguish me in salt I know no rapture such as this Tie my limbs to four separate horses And when you see fit - crack the whip A MUFFLED SCREAM IS JUST A WHISPER Intruder, string me up in your vocal cords Sing me to sleep, I'm hanging on your every word No one's impervious to the unknown Nothing's innocuous after what I've been shown
