Unknown Known

Unknown Known I know I am being watched I know it’s following me The dark thing that walks with me It’s just around the corner It’s hiding in the light And it grows strong when it becomes the night I can hear it breathing Gasping and it groans Rustling about me It never leaves me alone This thing floats through me And my thinking get absorbed Into an abyss of confusion And paranoidal songs The lullaby is ancient Who is singing that song It sounds so familiar I know I must be wrong There it goes before me It turns the corner first I run as fast as I can And try to catch this ancient curse What is this madness Doesn’t it ever have to rest I am so tired of all of this I feel I lost my best I hear the unspoken words They repeat and repeat Like the banging of a drum This discords plays And never misses a beat My days are filled with questions The nights will always loom And then the singing thing Will come back to my room I do not want this roommate This partner of my mind I do not want this company With me all the time I haunt myself The ghost must be me And I have as of yet Been unable to flee
