Shimmer

(Young Boy) 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 (Verse 1) 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 (Chorus) 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 (Verse 2) 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

(Chorus) 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
(Verse 3) 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!
(Chorus) 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
(Verce 4) 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
