House

This big old house is haunted tonight.
Something just isn't quite right.

Maybe it's the light, it's off and on all night long on it's own.

Something is whispering to me,
Someone is calling me,
"things will never be the same."

Is the long echo into silence as depressing as it sounds? Why is it so empty here?

Suddenly, I see myself in the mirror.

He laughs, he jeers, he causes me fear.

He is threatening my life tonight. He said I won't make it through alive. He mouths the world, "I will be the only one to hear my screams."

Is it this house or doubt? What are these demons? Why are they here?

It starts with a scream, then add another, it builds and builds until my mind is aflutter and yes it goes, gets louder and louder, my heart starts pounding. I'm feeling the blood race through my veins, it's so loud, the screaming, that I can't breath. It's too much, I collapse under the weight of it. I break my teeth trying to drown it out. I'm screaming and screaming with everyone else. But no one can hear me.
