There is something behind me....

There is something behind me

There is something behind me

I can feel its breath on my neck

Its fingers tickle my spine

A blade or a gun? What's it gonna be?

Which should I choose?

Oh,

wait,

that's just the wall.

Even if there was something behind me

What would I do?

How loud would I have to scream?

How fast can I run?

I locked the door, I won't open it fast enough

I'm too far away

From the door, from the world

Crash!

What was that?!

Oh,

wait,

that was just the TV

Why did I turn it up so high?

And as I feel what's not there

And hear what doesn't speak

And see what my mind should not seek

I know all I have to do

Is get off the couch and walk to the door

The world waits outside

Bright and loud

But I remain sitted

And I walk sideways

So I can see all sides, but my back still remains unwatched

And I'm alone in so many ways

And I still jump at every sound

All I have to do is walk out

But I don't

I chose to be lonely

But I hate this loneliness

But I can't change it

Afterall, I chose to be lonely.

The demage has already been done

I will carry the paranoia to the grave

When they asked what I wanted

Lonely was the answer I gave

And now I will never get the chance to be brave.

This is how my life started

And this is how it will end

What's that smell?

I swear, someone just set my house on fire

They are trying to set me ablaze!!

Oh, wait, that's just my food burning.
