It Lives Within

I saw something appear.
It sang a song I couldn’t hear.
It spoke in words that meant nothing.
It disappeared as fast ‘it came.

I saw something right over there.
It saw me too, knew I was there.
It moved in motion that we don’t own.
I swear ‘twas there and then ‘twas gone.

But now I see something remains.
As I feast on flesh to feed its sin.
I told you that I’d seen something.
You saw it too before the end.
Because right now it lives within.
