A Fish Without Water

This house doesn't need ghosts to scare anyone The walls take sanity for fun They'll hex you with whispers in tongue Arrive with confidence, you'll leave with none The longer you stay, the further undone The air stifles, it thickens and numbs It weighs down on you like tons Constricting every cell, it stuns Skeletons in these closets tote guns Heat comes at you like fire from dragons I mean heat like the fury of a thousand suns Your mind weakens and maddens This house kills souls like it's a soul assassin A suffering only the wicked can fathom
