Relationship Ghouls

And I knew it was the groan of mortal terror
It was not the groan of pain or grief, oh no
It was the low, stifled sound that arises from the bottom of the soul when overcharged with awe
I knew the sound well

Threatened in the night by ghouls who wanna spook me
This ain't feeling right, it's nothing like in the movies
Shaking with my fright, and desperate to make a move, see
I don't wanna be here to find out what they would do to me
But I still remain, taking the beating
All these demons make me feel insane, thoughts are repeating
All these demons make me feel insane, thoughts are repeating
All these- aw fuck, now the creepy's increasing
Now I'm frightened of the demons that be clouding my vision
Senses heightened, and I'm freaking seeing things, and now I know they're listening
One condition, I'ma leave before they even know what's missing
Dishes in the kitchen, and they notice out the door I'm skipping
Slam that shit behind me, now you wonder who's the fucking villain
Fall into the booby trap; I don't know what you're revealing
If you're gonna murder me, I'll leave you will a final feeling
I will make your mission fail- kill you, never find you dealing
Go ahead, now, keep on taunting and we'll go from there
You continue talking, so there's no more burdens I can bear
Nestle in a hiding spot, find a place they have to spare
You can try to find me, bitch, now look inside the master chair
If I'm feeling fine, then I know my mind is safe
Desperate for the time, find a clock, I see it's getting late
Almost eight, early wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take
Ending of the first day, I hope the second's just as great

Up and down the halls they're scaring, frightening and they're overbearing
If you don't believe in them, you will not be seen again
Relationship ghouls are not caring, halt your problems with red herrings
Now they hope you're seeing them, now you will believe in them

Lately when I'm writing rhymes, they're appearing kind of dark
I don't know what made me do it, demons tearing me apart
Influential people have been making me renew my art
Take a scary shot in the dark, and guess at who they are
Inspire the uninspired, change my music like the tides
All the hidden meanings that you're finding once you look inside
Understand what's on my paper: these ain't all the tears I've cried
Multi-syllabic rhymes, sounding like a Disney ride
Reach out for my teddy bear for comfort 'cause the thunder's booming
Look him in the eyes, and the fucker started talking to me
"You ain't getting out of here alive" he said, over the music
But I'm trying, still give an effort to escape the feuding

Up and down the halls they're scaring, frightening and they're overbearing
If you don't believe in them, you will not be seen again

But you should've seen me
I was never kinder to the old man than during the whole week before I killed him

So, I made it out, but they're still chasing me
Screaming loud, thumb is out, pray a cab is saving me
Flag it down, driver's pointing me into the vacant seat
I'm escaping now, thanking God He found a way for me
But as I begin to breathe, something's feeling kind of off
He just turned the car around, and turned the radio way up
Recognize the song and I feel my skin begin to crawl
It's the same exact one, playing through the haunted halls
Now the driver laughs, acting like there's something scheming
Taking off the mask and revealing he's the fucking demon
Slamming on the gas, right into the wall is where we're speeding
Right before we crash, I wake up; I guess I was dreaming
Sweat dripping, wet imprint, laying in my bed
See it as I'm standing up; all this shit was in my head
That's the scary part: all this shit was in my head
"Just a dream" I say to me, trying to ignore the dread
Now I calmed down, won't be sleeping for a minute
When I close my eyes, feeling like I'm right back in it
Still feeling dizzy, head hurts, and the room is spinning
Back in bed; the spirits in my head are unforgiving
Try to fall asleep, but I lay there for a little while
Can't seem to do it and my mind is still going wild
Use a technique back from when I was a little child
Reach out for my teddy bear, I see his face form a smile
Shit
