Do you ever see them?
Come on, you know what I’m talking about.
I tried to deny it too. For a while. But you can’t they don’t leave. Ever.
The shadow people.
They follow you around lurking in the smothering darkness.
Darting back and forth receding to the corners of your eyes.
Looking at you calling you.
Yeah haha. They never let me get a good look. But I’m trained I can hear them too!
tck tck tck tck
That’s the sound they make. That’s when I know I’ve pleased them.
It was hard at first. Doing what needed to be done.
Those who were punished certainly didn’t appreciate it.
But you have no choice! You have to please them. To do the right thing.
The first time was probably the hardest.
Some drug addict sleeping on the street.
It was funny he didn’t really struggle.
His eyes bulged wide but he didn’t have any fight in him.
tck tck tck tck
I saw the light spill out of him.
That satisfied them for a little while.
tck tck tck tck
But they are just so hungry haha.
They needed more.
tck tck tck tck
So I followed her home.
The serrated blade made such pretty ribbons. It was like they were biting at her face.
She cried and I cried for her.
Why couldn’t she see them?
So much blood.
tck tck tck tck
Yeah that was it.
I tried so hard to look straight at them but they kept dancing away.
So I kept going.
My favorite was the business man.
In his fancy house separated from us.
I used a cinder block. Cracking and screaming in a frenzy making such a mess. He couldn’t see them so I helped.
tck tck tck tck
They wanted more.
So I did what I needed too.
They picked them not me. You can look and see.
The others fade from memory.
tck tck tck tck
Just steps to see glory.
To catch a glimpse of their corporal flesh.
tck tck tck tck
To see hell itself. My mind screaming inside. It’s echoed bells crashing through my skull.
tck tck tck tck
But he got in the way.
tck tck tck tck
He said they weren’t real
tck tck tck tck
He threatened us
tck tck tck tck
I. CAN. HEAR . THEM
tck tck tck tck
So I made my most beautiful masterpiece.
With the pen from the table
They sung to me from his sullied heart. Drinking the elixir I could feel that he saw them too now.
No more chances I have to go now.
Go where they want me to.
They lead me here and oh god I’m so grateful.
I know you can feel them. That means you’re picked. You must please them!
tck tck tck tck
Now I’m being lead to a chair
tck tck tck tck
It’s going to kill me.
tck tck tck tck
But I know I’ll be with them.
tck tck tck tck
forever.
tck tck tck tck
The switch is pulled.
tck tck tc..
