Inspired by The Nightmare by Henry Fuseli

Twisted in the night
Her poltergeist disguised as my shadow
I can't wait to see you
Twisted in the dark 
With stained glassed eyes fix on a grimacing nightmare 
That sleeps on my pillow
Draped in red, horse head, dead asleep. 
Forgive the terror that we meet

We conjured our possessions
We let them in 
I let it breed resentment in me
I let it sip from the depths of my obsession 
Addicted to our tribulation 
Erase my memory 
Until I can no longer dig I'll be buried alive 
Please leave our home
Pray leave my home
Pray leave my home
Pray leave my home
Pray leave my home

Laughter in her sleep 
Enough fire on my breathe to melt her plastic halo
Who do you whisper hymns?
To a swollen imp that sits atop her chest
Swallowed in the madness of my sweet deceiver, my lonesome alibi, spirits of the Methuselah return my sanity.
You're no longer welcome here

We conjured our possession 
We let them in I let it breed resentment in me
Let it sip from the depths of my obsession 
Addicted to our tribulation 
Erase my memory 
Until I can no longer dig I'll be buried alive 
Please leave our home
Pray leave my home
Pray leave my home
Pray leave my home
Pray leave my home

We Conjured Our Possessions (demo ‘23)

Caught in a fragile dream of winter

Buried up to my neck in snow

Ice covered all the doors and windows 

That keep you locked in your glass home


Shining horses in twilight 

Galloping against prairie lines

When time afforded me you tonight

Our shadows on the walls dance by lamp light


Caught in a nexus of waking up 

Somewhere new I can't recall

Sunlight bakes the glass warming up the room

Here I wait for you

Sinking into this burning chair

As tongues of flame wisp through my hair

Clinging to the walls of a house of fire


Shining horses in twilight

Galloping against prairie lines

When time afforded me you tonight

Our shadows on the walls dance by lamp light 


Time afforded me you tonight

Time afforded me you tonight

Time afforded me you tonight

Our shadows on the walls dance by lamp light


Time afforded me you tonight

Time afforded me you tonight

We may say this feels right

We're not disillusioned by love

We're just out of time
