Tenant With Two Faces

Tenant With Two Faces After midnight, here in this chair, I watch my candle go down As I suffer to hear this woman above me, scream an awful animal sound Before, loud laughter; she walks,dropping furniture, banging on the wall A mental patient, twice in the making, about to fall. The soul is not hers, and she is in utter torment Monsters in the night, her sins to lament Darkness is her enemy that walk in the night Afraid to calm down , to sleep, just to wait for the coming light. To eat, to smoke, the stress,so weary, no sleep As I listen to the madness of her tapping feet The mind wanders, such strange sounds from above Maybe born of evil, no heart, no conscience, no love. As I walk from room to room, she follows as if by sonar Such sadness, no one is there to hold her, dreadful karma High-pitched laughter, delirious scream, soon after Feel lost , as if I should hide and shiver way up in the rafter. Time and time before, I see her, no recognition, just anger And so I stand to witness her face changes,dark force,dark spirit, huge ugly head, hunger Oh priest, holy cross and holy water, it is hard to reason; one person inside another When most can only see, one child, one daughter, one mother.
