Can't see, Can't hear
Slipping into a realm of fear
Nevermore, Never here
Happiness you hold so dear

Eyes pop open
Gasps of air
Wet from tears
Heart stripped bare

Shadows dancing in the night
Wishing for fulfilling light
Something, Anything
A twist of sight

Choking darkness closing in
Red Demons full of sin
Splotchy rhythms of tchaikovsky
No more Not here
