Insidious

I'm with you in the dark
Your shadow in the light
Weigh Heavy round your neck
The fullness in your ears

Senses sharpened
Pupils dilate
Tendons snap
As you fall for the bait
Escape is all too late
The doubletake
The lapse in breath
Catching a glimpse
Of that side
Of you here
Of the death

We'll take it slow
I'll wear you down
Well make mistakes for
Goodness sake
Swallow you whole
Til you break
Break you down

Senses sharpened
Pupils dilate
Tendons snap
As you fall for the bait
Escape is all too late
The doubletake
The lapse in breath
Catching a glimpse
Of that side
Of you here
Of the death

One crack at a time
Pulled apart, rip the seams
Nothing inside but Empty space
To crawl and hide
