Mercurial Void Slumber Collections Volume 1 lyrics

I lay in bed and stared out a frost covered window
A man outside was staring back at me
It didn't strike me as peculiar
I felt no real sense of danger

I think he was looking for my mother
I think he meant her harm
He didn't come in until she screamed
I still wish she hadn't screamed

The time is coming as I grow weary
The veil of sleep covers my eyes
It takes me so effortlessly
And cradles me in shadowed arms


Cruel gravity was the accomplice
With the one who was following me
I tried in vain to run
But my legs, my legs were failing me

I could hear my family downstairs
I knew that they could help me
If only I could call out
But I was rendered mute
