Don't Let It Out of There

What lurks there?

I don’t wanna know but deep down I already do

I felt the malaise as soon as I woke up

Sickening anxiety is capturing me

I could only pray

Shutting my eyes, hoping that it’s just a weird feeling

Even now someone is whispering in my ear

I pretend like I don’t notice it, but I actually do

That thing is going on a rampage in its cage

Before I knew it, you were born inside of me

Growing without suffering or pain

If that thing breaks free, it’ll fucking kill me

I can never take my eyes off of that tiny cage

Its eyes sparkle whenever I am weakened

It’s always targetting me

So don’t let it out of there

Blind

What lurks there?

That thing will never die

Even if this world ends

So take shelter somewhere safe

Don’t make eye contact, hide your fucking face

My body and soul have been twisted beyond repair

So much that even I could tell

That distortion gave birth to it and now it gives me fucking hell

My brain now knows - night is meant for suffering

A slow, relentless erosion that creeps in over the years

Even if I decide to fucking end it all

That fucking thing will keep on living

I'm sinking even deeper into the abyss

What do these lifeless eyes even see anymore?

If that thing breaks free, it’ll fucking kill me

I can never take my eyes off of that tiny cage

Its eyes sparkle whenever I am weakened

It’s always targetting me

So don’t let it out of there

Before I knew it, you were born inside of me

Growing without suffering or pain

If that thing breaks free, it’ll fucking kill me

I can never take my eyes off of that tiny cage

Its eyes sparkle whenever I am weakened

It’s always targetting me

So don’t let it out of there

A mirror in the dark

Always watching me

What do these lifeless eyes even see anymore?

If this is what fear truly is

Then I must have misunderstood it all along

Never let the me escape from that cage

Blind

What lurks there?
