Shimmer

(专辑： Fearless Fred Fury - 2019)

Dear God, I don't know if you're really real?
Because mom and stepdad say that you're total hogwash
But if you're real, and I believe you are, I could really use your help
Every night something awful comes to my closet, it's a woman, but she's dead
I don't know why she's here. I don't know what she wants
Most of all, I don't know how to make her go away and I'm really really scared
I get the feeling that she wants me dead

Shimmer's not in heaven, Shimmer's not in hell
Shimmer's in the Echoside as far as I can tell
I feel her presents when I'm standing at the mirror in the dark
I hear her voice within the room, vibrating my heart
It terrifies me, in my class
I feel I'm free, but too quickly it pass before
I'm headed back, to our sickly house on Cass Shimmer hates laughter, and juveniles
Throughout my day, I heard her say, "I'll make you pay for every smile"
She was a bad girl who liked to cause agony
I guarantee, and now she wants to terrify and burry me
I'm used to sodomy, my dad's a demon and mommas drunk and good for nothing but something to stuff his semen in
Red light illuminates my closet when Shimmer comes with a wretched stench and underneath the door, blood runs
I stay in bed under the covers, but fear forces me to see the closet door open, and Shimmer pointing at me

Eyes black, she bloody, and she likes that
A Child dead in her arms she takes a bite of his neck
And then chews it, pointing at me, blood dripping right down her chin
Cocks her head, then she does it again
Eyes black, she bloody, and she likes that
A Child dead in her arms she takes a bite of his neck
And then chews it, pointing at me, blood dripping right down her chin
Cocks her head, then she does it again

In school they laugh, I've lost so much hair
But I don't care, our souls are just orbs in the air
I hate our house, but have nowhere to go to
And when we moved in, momma said "this is so cool"
I have no brothers or sisters, no fucking pets
And my anxiety grows the darker it gets
Why's the sun always leave me? Shimmers a guarantee
Scaring me into insanity and no one's hearing me!
I did tell my favorite teacher Mr. Bowdock
I Said, "There's a wicked ghost hounding me around the clock"
He said, "Pray little man, God's bliss is always there"
Yet when Shimmer shows up, that bliss disappears
My step dad just smacks me, sends me to my room
Something happened in that closet, some untold doom!
Because it reeks of death in there, 'opens a crack
And then it illuminates, and bloody Shimmer's back again

Eyes black, she bloody, and she likes that
A Child dead in her arms she takes a bite of his neck
And then chews it, pointing at me, blood dripping right down her chin
Cocks her head, then she does it again
Eyes black, she bloody, and she likes that
A Child dead in her arms she takes a bite of his neck
And then chews it, pointing at me, blood dripping right down her chin
Cocks her head, then she does it again

I left a bible in the closet, but found it bloody
I just want the world to know I need some help some body
When she comes, the temperature drops
I see my breath in the air my clock light dies out
And the room smells of death
I get the sense she's angrier, every time she's here
Despite how many times, I'm left, paralyzed in fear
Always holding a child, about my age
Pointing at me. Why all the frustration and rage?
What if, she's just an energy, pretend to me?
But I believe she's real and wants the end of me
Fuck it. I'll do it. She'll never stop 'till it's correct
I walk right into in her arms, let her have my neck
That night Shimmer came, I was engulfed in fear, but death don't sound so bad
I've had enough it's clear I'd rather die, then be her toy to terrify
No more nights of being pegged by her stairing eyes!

Eyes black, she bloody, and she likes that
A Child dead in her arms she takes a bite of his neck
And then chews it, pointing at me, blood dripping right down her chin
Cocks her head, then she does it again
Eyes black, she bloody, and she likes that
A Child dead in her arms she takes a bite of his neck
And then chews it, pointing at me, blood dripping right down her chin
Cocks her head, then she does it again

Her touch stunnded me, like sleep paralysis I couldn't move
But saw all the hell of this Her mouth up close, it was a black pit
Her teeth sunk in well and I felt the rip Total darkness, then I felt no pain
But I almost went deaf, when she screamed my name!
Still paralyzed, I opened my eyes and found myself, alive in my closet, sound of health
The fear poured out of my body, released it's clutch
The first thing I felt, was leather's touch
In my hands, the bible, the one I left in there
It was no longer bloody and all the pages were clear
Her wretched smell gone, the air was warm
And for the first time in years, I felt a calm
From that night forward, shimmer was aborted
I can't help but feel my bravery was rewarded
