You’re the neighbor I don’t want to know
Keeping mostly quiet but always on the other side of my wall
You’re the great teacher who pierces me in places I didn’t know could break
You’re the dark side of a bargain

You bring us in and take us out
Give us breath and blood
Shepherd us back into an unknown I don’t want to know

All we can do is pretend we are stronger than you
That you didn’t ****** us unwilling into once upon a time
That you won’t ever drag us out
