a song about my experience with sleep paralysis and the demons that visit me at night. the demons that really are reflections of me and everything I turn away from during the day; they come back to haunt me and force me to listen. it’s only ever scary as long as I refuse to accept them as my own shadows

the biggest thank you to Sasha for the support and the screams <3

LYRICS:
(is she asleep?
well, not quite
she looks so… peaceful
we’ll see about that)

Slow creeps
Come and see me in your dreams
Baby, no screams 
Hold me
Don’t you shun me so coldly
It’s too lonely

You close the door (close the door)
To my cries all the time (leave me whole)
Can’t run no more (spare my soul)
Your mind,all mine (you’re done for)

Don’t resist and let me come nearer
Let me hear your thoughts even clearer
I’ve been waiting trapped in the mirror
For you to turn off all the lights
Cause it’s the only time that you let me wander
Don’t be scared, oh, love I’m no monster
Ever wonder what’s hidden under
When you take off all your blinds

(I’m not a monster)

Hang tight
You too know that you can’t hide
Baby, you’ve tried
Tongue tied
And now you’re all frozen inside
But it’s all right

Don’t resist and let me come nearer
Let me hear your thoughts even clearer
I’ve been waiting trapped in the mirror
For you to turn off all the lights
Cause it’s the only time that you let me wander
Don’t be scared, oh, love I’m no monster
Ever wonder what’s hidden under
When you take off all your blinds

(we shouldn’t disturb her
but I’ve been waiting for this for so long
why are you fighting it?
listen to me)

Don’t resist and let me come nearer (close the door)
Let me hear your thoughts even clearer (leave me whole)
I’ve been waiting trapped in the mirror (spare my soul)
For you to turn off all the lights (you’re done for)
Cause it’s the only time that you let me wander (close the door)
Don’t be scared, oh, love, I’m no monster (leave me whole)
Ever wonder what’s hidden under (spare my soul)
When you take off all your blinds (you’re done for)

(don’t worry darling
it’s gonna be okay
just let it happen)

No clue
Why you cry like I hurt you
Tore you in two
Oh, you
There is nowhere to run to
Cause I’m you
