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 till 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
