It Dwells

Stranded in this crowded room But while they'll leave, you'll still refuse Always lurking, waiting Watching on as your sickening Presence wears my will 'til it breaks Depriving me of sleep, of joy, of sanity Never seen but always there I feel it breathing down my neck From across the room When all have washed their hands of me You'll stay true A loyalty I had never sought But one I'll never lose Please let me sleep Chilling air On my skin It pulls the fibres Taut to pluck Leave me be Leave me be Let me sleep Let me sleep I'll brave any tide in the ocean If us both, its depths would claim I'll dive from the highest peak If it means you will plummet The same One day I will find peace Come what may I'll have peace I will find my peace
