Breathe in
Terror seizes, blinds and holds
Breathe out
Swirling nightmare wrapped in bloody folds
Scream in
Drowning within the darkest night
Scream out
Running but never closer to that waning light
Pulled in
Fight the chains that hold you back
Pulled out
Try to run from his screaming pack
Brought in
Walking forward on stolen feet
Brought out
Time to see what you don’t want to meet
Forced in
Down into dungeons darkest, hidden door
Forced out
Hearing nasty claws rattle ‘cross the floor
See in
Through windows glossed with tears so thick
See out
Walking through stark orchard and hearts you’ll pick
Swim in
Through shivering waters filled with dancing doom
Swim out
Knowing something lurks within that deep, dark gloom
Hear in
Screams from throats and mouths you love
Hear out
Calls for help from somewhere below… or above
Walk in
Houses that blended all homes to one monster place
Walk out
Trees that look back with each a tortured face
Dragged in
Claw at the earth as hands wrap ‘round your feet
Dragged out
Beg to awaken, wrapped within a sweaty sheet
Bleed in
Hearts beat like drums against aching bone cage
Bleed out
Find out that you walked naked upon a gleaming stage
Dream in
Nightmares that hold you beneath those tilting waves
Dream out
Because you are only a sleeper and we are all helpless slaves
