Shimmer

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 nothin' but somethin' 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 stairin' 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
