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
