Ominous Numinous sitting at my desk
He’s leering and he’s luminous sitting on my chest
I try to make my elbow bend
Ominous Numinous says he’s my best friend
Ominous Numinous paralyzing me
Completely dubious that he’ll set me free
I try to know he’s just a dream
Ominous Numinous, why can’t you let me scream?
Unzips the teeth out of my jaw
Sucks the air out of my maw
The sheets are cling wrap on my skin
A growing horror from within
My bed is a sarcophagus and I can’t move a thing
Grinning down on me
Way beyond nervousness. He won’t set me free
Somebody please shake me awake
Ominous Numinous, what are you trying to take?
The pillow chokes me from behind
I know that it’s all in my mind
And yet I’m caught here paralyzed
by my something deep inside
