Gutter

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 assert their rights The fear is what I need, what I need to believe The fear is what I need, 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, what I need to believe The fear is what I need, what I need to feel And so I dragged myself Into this gutter of mine Where shades of prey Feed on my soul
