Walk Inside Me

You taste like salted chocolate That's a bitter sweet truth I taste like nothing Losing the scent of my youth. You are walking on water Miraculously you never sink I am walking on egg shells Feet bloody, mind filling to the brink. Do I know you miss shadow of a ghost? You don't know me and neither do most I am your monster in the closet The spider in your bed I am sickness creeping in your head Don't open the doors now I promise it's too late In every light found, darknes is the mate. I am trapped in looking glass Stuck looking at myself If these eyes could burn holes I and me would melt. Old bones never rattle But old souls never stop Just don't open the doors now I promise it's too late In every light found, darkness is the mate

Hello, Ryan. It's my first time reading your work and I must say I definitely am going to read more of your compositions. I'm envious of the way you make your words flow and make it seem like a very sinister nursery rhymes. It makes me think of an old pop-up book with a dark tale for its narrative. Awesome!
