Paranoia

Paranoia The man that stood next to me Wore shades Hidden eyes shielded by the taint That makes light fade Invaded space and feelings feint His blatant eyeless stare Sears through With eyes removed to elsewhere I withdrew Silent whispering gazes that talk Inwardly I watch him vaguely like a hawk Awkwardly His mouth is moving with intent About me His speech comprises malcontent Perverts my mind He’s talking on his mobile phone I’m being maligned He moves away, I’m not alone The talking lips Proceed to drone upon my shoulder Losing my grip And disembodied eyes to make me shudder He’s here With shades and talking phone, to gaze Upon my fear And in my psyche, eyes and mouth that craze There’s no escape From entwined paranoia And life insane Paranoia The man that stood next to me Wore shades Hidden eyes shielded by the taint That makes light fade Invaded space and feelings feint His blatant eyeless stare Sears through With eyes removed to elsewhere I withdrew Silent whispering gazes that talk Inwardly I watch him vaguely like a hawk Awkwardly His mouth is moving with intent About me His speech comprises malcontent Perverts my mind He’s talking on his mobile phone I’m being maligned He moves away, I’m not alone The talking lips Proceed to drone upon my shoulder Losing my grip And disembodied eyes to make me shudder He’s here With shades and talking phone, to gaze Upon my fear And in my psyche, eyes and mouth that craze There’s no escape From entwined paranoia And life insane
