Sensing a presence in my bed
I plead that this is all in my head

My gut wrenches. Heart
sinks
once my eyes fix upon you I dare not blink

Cold, numbness proceeding
I could never prepare for this feeling

You cannot meet my eyes
now they aren’t closed in sleep.

Mirrors to a soul you violated
You ******* creep
The harassment from my perspective.

break in*
fingertips imprinted onto the glass of the cold window
legs shake as I balance on the bricks
inside I catch a glimpse of my own shadow
but I can't stop now, my watch still ticks

the dead of night is wide awake
staring at my unrecognizable clone on the wall
is this really where I belong?
I step inside before I fall

maybe I should just go back from where I came
it's quiet in here
and this has always been a risky game
I come in peace to invade the premises
before I get caught, I get one last good luck kiss

from the raindrops that now patter against the desk
leaking through the open gap in the wall
if not for the circumstance, would appear quite picturesque
my shadow still wavers, slim and tall

now this is it
I lay down on the stranger's bed
pealing the sickly drenched clothes from my skin
as the wind gushes past my head
where do I belong?
where do I go?
what am I doing here, for how long?
when can I come home?
Some things in life seem too real to just be a coincidence.

When everything seems so dark,
My lantern won't give a spark
Then I feel so shaken
I just want to break in.

Whenever I try to rise,
Then my life seems to capsize.
So I feel so shaken,
that's when my heart caves in.

Whenever I fall aground,
My savior will then reach down.
Saying "Do not feel shaken.
I'll hold back the cave-in.

"Whatever will come your way,
Through the fire or through the rain,
You will not be shaken.
You will not be shaken."

So now when my life feels dark-
My lantern won't give a spark
I will not be shaken
For he holds the break-in.

And now when the pouring rain
Will thunder and come my way
I cannot be shaken
I will not be shaken.
