Sort of: A Near Death Experience
As I drive I see eyes
I see blotches of color follow me home
The corners of my eyes may deceive me
but I swear I see the devil coming closer to my car
I've seen him in dreams and it seems that he's back
whether for sex or a vicious attack
It's not just tail light retained in my vision
there's something out there
and I wish I was kidding
the weather is cold and my car's moving slow
I'm locking my doors
and
I'm praying to God
and
I'm covered in ice
from tears, unannounced
how intensely I feel from this unknown presence
There's something outside from some hell or some heaven
I can't shake the feeling as it builds inside me
It's showing its teeth, in my mind I can see
I want to scream. I want to shout
I just want to get the fuck out
This thing knows that I know it's there
Can already feel claws tearing my hair
Can anyone else feel it too?
Thinking it's some animal lost from the zoo
I'd yell out my window but I don't want to shout
or let the warmth of my car heater out
The traffic starts moving and I feel relieved
But I manage to keep on going, full speed
I've seen it before and I'll see it again
I just hope at that moment, my life doesn't end
I think what I saw was some demon of life
a beast of the night
my imagination, an indication
that something's not right
I see blotches of color follow me home
The corners of my eyes may deceive me
but I swear I see the devil coming closer to my car
I've seen him in dreams and it seems that he's back
whether for sex or a vicious attack
It's not just tail light retained in my vision
there's something out there
and I wish I was kidding
the weather is cold and my car's moving slow
I'm locking my doors
and
I'm praying to God
and
I'm covered in ice
from tears, unannounced
how intensely I feel from this unknown presence
There's something outside from some hell or some heaven
I can't shake the feeling as it builds inside me
It's showing its teeth, in my mind I can see
I want to scream. I want to shout
I just want to get the fuck out
This thing knows that I know it's there
Can already feel claws tearing my hair
Can anyone else feel it too?
Thinking it's some animal lost from the zoo
I'd yell out my window but I don't want to shout
or let the warmth of my car heater out
The traffic starts moving and I feel relieved
But I manage to keep on going, full speed
I've seen it before and I'll see it again
I just hope at that moment, my life doesn't end
I think what I saw was some demon of life
a beast of the night
my imagination, an indication
that something's not right
