The Odious Construct - They Came Through the Mirrors

Paranoid, lucid nightmare
panic rising, isolation
watching as the walls begin to bleed

Writhing, intertwining wave-like patterns
caught in just the right light
manifest the silhouettes of serpents
twisting into my eyes
Losing sight of self-awareness
delusions rising to the surface.
onset insidious insanity

Spiraling down into this psychosis
haunting my thoughts for eternity
Catatonic, paralyzed, contorting
faces in the dark
demons in the walls
God when will this stop

Vile abstractions
squirming in the dark

Shadows alter into haunting figures
pulling strings to feed
glowing red eyes
sharp grinning teeth,
conspire against me
Congregate and coalesce to abduct, interrogate
Muffled voices whisper my name
louder, calling, louder, screaming

Spiraling down into this psychosis
separate, annihilate reality
Catatonic, immobile and comatose
rip away control
Powerful and nefarious
Demons in the walls
God when will this stop

Fixed my gaze, looking upon the mirror
a fatal error
heinous imposter gloating my fear
possessed inside.
Torturous, panic, razor anxiety
engulfs my existence.

That look in your eye,
I know you're on their side.
I heard you say my name,
the way you looked at me,
they know I know (this time).

Palpitations.
Isolated.
Breaching the threshold of terror.
This asphyxiation.
Forfeit sanity
in this loathsome suffering

Demons crawling in the walls
Spiraling down
insidious insanity
