They crawl out from the dark
permeate through my door
float in the hallway
slowly blend into the walls
in the shadow of my grief
i can hear whispered sounds
feel a cold breath on my skin
here they come
to a**ert their rights
the fear is what i need to believe
the fear is what i need to feel
and so i dragged myself
into this gutter of mine
where shades of prey
feed on my soul
i crave to commit my words
to the book of stifled cries
i fell down so long ago
i don't remember now
the fear is what i need to believe
the fear is what i need to feel
and so i dragged myself
into this gutter of mine
where shades of prey
feed on my soul
permeate through my door
float in the hallway
slowly blend into the walls
in the shadow of my grief
i can hear whispered sounds
feel a cold breath on my skin
here they come
to a**ert their rights
the fear is what i need to believe
the fear is what i need to feel
and so i dragged myself
into this gutter of mine
where shades of prey
feed on my soul
i crave to commit my words
to the book of stifled cries
i fell down so long ago
i don't remember now
the fear is what i need to believe
the fear is what i need to feel
and so i dragged myself
into this gutter of mine
where shades of prey
feed on my soul
