The Prey

Woke up in a simulation
Explore through the broken station
Where we test abominations
Now I'm trapped with the infestation
How can I ever defeat the things that I can't see?
They hide mimicking themselves
Right in front of me

Hold on just to survive
Fight back the alien life
Play a dangerous game
The hunter and the prey
Such a long way from home
Paranoid I'm never alone
Labyrinth in space
The hunter and the prey

Escape from this research Madness
Scavenge until there's access granted
Blast the phantoms that were captives
I solve new problems I've adapted
And I know my chances are slim
To ever get away
Still I fight nightmares come to life
For the human race

Hold on just to survive
Fight back the alien life
Play a dangerous game
The hunter and the prey
Such a long way from home
Paranoid I'm never alone
Labyrinth in space
The hunter and the prey

Awake but something doesn't seem right
A little off but maybe hopping in my routine might get the day going
Check the emails odd feeling is growing
It's in the details

Burning in my gut but there's work to do
First day and to lurk's only hurting you
Nueromod is odd and disturbing true
But a burden on your title's not worth it move

To a room where the others are observing you
Doing tests and the tasks are alerting you
Like what is this for?
And before you can get an answer you see another man rush the door

And awake
What is this another take?
Was I dreaming?
Shudder at the other's fate and the email's telling me to leave now
It's taking everything within me not to freak out
