• my eyes are not safe to see anymore
    i cannot trust my mind to think
    and i cannot trust my hands to feel
    my body isn't safe for me anymore
    i cannot trust the light to stay
    and i cannot trust my heart to stop
    this feeling isn't safe for me anymore

    it is night and the sun is down
    they move closer and i grip tighter
    the blood presses against my vein
    and i open my eyes a little wider
    i feel an unnatural twitch in my neck
    and another chill runs my spine
    i am safe in the corners
    unless someone turns off the light
    i am safe in the corners

    this artificial adrenaline awakening
    has never betrayed me so but
    how the are the terrors tenaciously taunting
    my feelings and my perceptions
    why won't the shadows silently cease
    torturing and teasing my head
    if this is supposed to be pleasure
    then i think i'm supposed to be dead.
