Sleep paralysis
My mother was a dreamer
My father was a sinner
And now I am a daughter
With nowhere to call home
I laid out all the pictures
Constructing my memory
I was a happy little girl
Forgetting all my eyes had seen
I hid it deep inside
Every dark thing
Until one day once you'd died
I remembered everything
_
And now it consumes my thought
I try so hard to **** it
Abused and broken on the floor
There's a knife - a leg split
I'm far too vain to cut my arms
So I cut my legs
Why do I do this - it hurts
"Bittersweet", I said
Walking in the dark among the streets I knew
I remember you, the sky was black
And I was pale with fright of you
You smothered me, too much for me to bear
I couldn't scream I couldn't breathe
And you really didn't care
Punching me in my stomach
I felt a knot in my throat
I tried to form a fist, I couldn't
Felt my spirit start to float
Sleep paralysis is how my memories came back
It started with nightmares of me walking
And ending with me dying
